Ivan Juric returns to replace Andrea Mandorlini as Genoa boss

Croatian Juric was replaced by Mandorlini in February - but Sunday's 3-0 Serie A loss at Udinese prompted the club to make another change.

A statement on the club's official website read: "We have called on Ivan Juric as first team coach, in addition to assistant coach Alberto Corradi and associate Stjepan Ostojic. The engagement starts from today."

Juric made a reasonable start to life at the club following his appointment last June, but a run of seven defeats from nine left the Rossoblu in 16th place when the 41-year-old left.

However, Mandorlini fared little better. The Grifone picked up four points from their first two matches under the 56-year-old, but Sunday's defeat was their fourth in a row and they remain 16th - nine points clear of the relegation zone.
