Genoa set to appoint François Modesto and Melissano

Calciomercato.com, citing Sky Sport, reports that Genoa are preparing a major change in their sporting structure. Diego Lopez is reportedly close to leaving his sporting director role, with a contract termination and a move to Burnley both described as increasingly likely. Genoa are therefore targeting a two-man replacement consisting of Stefano Melissano and François Modesto, who have allegedly moved ahead of former Sassuolo executive Giovanni Rossi. Melissano would become sporting director, while Modesto would take on the role of Chief of Football. Modesto recently left Juventus, while Melissano has previously worked with Lecce, Fiorentina and Spezia.
