Genoa’s De Rossi: ‘When you see me playing the clown to blame players, I’m finished’

Genoa head coach Daniele De Rossi has stated he will never resort to theatrics or publicly attack his squad despite earning just one point from five matches. Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport, De Rossi insisted that publicly blaming his players or putting on a show from the sidelines would signal the end of his coaching career, maintaining that he will continue to defend the team.

Looking ahead, De Rossi and his staff plan to treat the upcoming return from the international break as a fresh start. The manager also addressed individual squad members, urging patience regarding Stephan El Shaarawy's fitness, discussing Lorenzo Colombo's recent injury scare, and praising the early impression made by teenager Robinho Junior.
