GENOA, Italy (AP) - Genoa has fired Andrea Mandorlini and brought back Ivan Juric as coach.
Genoa made the announcement Monday, the day after a 3-0 loss at Udinese.
Juric was fired on Feb. 19 following a 5-0 loss to Pescara. Genoa initially appeared to improve under Mandorlini, drawing his first match in charge and winning the next, but it then lost four consecutive league matches without scoring a goal.
The 41-year-old Juric, who spent his last four years as a player at Genoa before retiring in 2010, will start immediately, taking charge of training on Monday.
Juric was first hired by Genoa in the offseason after the Croatian guided Crotone into the top flight for the first time in its history.
Genoa, which is 16th in Serie A, hosts Lazio on Saturday.
