The club made this announcement in a statement published on its website stating that the new coach will oversee his first training session today, following the formalisation of his contract at the Villa Rostan Headquarters.

Vieira, a former French defensive midfielder, was a key member of Arsenal’s historic ‘Invincibles’ squad that clinched the club’s third English Premier League title. He played alongside French teammates

Thierry Henry and Robert Pires, among others. Vieira also lifted the FIFA World Cup in 1998 with France.

The announcement comes following Genoa’s dismissal of former head coach Alberto Gilardino, 42, after a disappointing start to the Serie A season.
