The Enrico Preziosi era for Genoa football officially ends. The company changes ownership after more than 18 years. Exciting and bitter years, with the patron appreciated and hated, who at the same time managed to manage a historic club with balance, which unfortunately has ceased to look at the top of the standings.

Thus one of the most histrionic characters of recent years moves away from the world of football. This morning the number one of Genoa placed the necessary signatures for the sale of the entire share package to the US fund 777 partners. It will be a faceless leadership as it has already happened in the past in A league? It is not yet known. This is certainly not the first experience of the American fund in European football. Just think of the 6% of Sevilla already detained.

New ownership for Genoa

To understand who will be the incumbent president and how the management will change at this stage, even if the biggest changes will probably come next season. The fans are already dreaming big, in view of the January market and especially the next summer in 2022. As mentioned, the entire package has been sold, which means that Preziosi will be completely unrelated to the events of Genoa, which is not it has been happening since 2002. It will only keep one appointment institutional, probably designed to manage relations between the club and Lega Calcio in the coming years.

The figures

Thus ends a very long cycle, almost 20 years, which began with the entrepreneur who took the field to save Genoa from financial meltdown. A huge investment, which prompted him to invest his own resources to cover a deficit, at the time, of 27 million euros.

Impossible not to ask yourself a few questions about the figures of the deal. It seems that Genoa was sold for approximately 150 million euros. The 777 Partners fund reportedly signed a pledge to cover the club's current debts as well. This move leads the Grifone to become the seventh Serie A club to pass into the hands of an American property.

Series A 2021-22

What Genoa was acquired by the American fund 777 Partners? It is a team in good condition, capable of fighting to remain in Serie A again next year. A solid group and an experienced coach, who certainly cannot boast big dreams at this stage. The ranking says that, after five days played, the points won are 4, which are worth thirteenth place. However, overtaking by the teams that precede it cannot be excluded, considering how Spezia, Verona, Empoli, Venice, Juve and Cagliari still have to take the field.

Two draws and two defeats at the start of the season. Not the best for the fans, who now feel free to dream. It is not to be excluded that in the next few years we can live the Sassuolo, Fiorentina or, why not, Atalanta dream, aspiring to a place in Europe.
