Patrick Vieira has just been appointed coach of the Italian team Genoa, replacing Alberto Gilardino. The Frenchman hopes to succeed with the Rossoblu, but his task may be complicated due to the presence of Mario Balotelli in this team.
The two former teammates from Manchester City and Inter had a dispute during their joint stay in Nice. Super Mario also claimed to have been ousted from the OGCN by the French world champion. In light of his revelations, we can fear a complicated cohabitation on the Luigis Ferrari side.
Vieira and Balotelli should bury the hatchet
The president of Genoa, Alberto Zangrillo, is nevertheless convinced that there will be no problems between the two men. “Mario is an intelligent person and I’m sure the new coach (Vieira) is too. They will kiss in front of me, I am sure they will get along very well.”
His words are enough to reassure fans of the transalpine team. Or not. Because when we know the fiery character of Balotelli but also the personality of Vieira, it is not impossible to see friction emerging between them.
