Thiago Motta has confirmed he's taking charge of Genoa.

Motta has accepted Genoa's offer to become their new coach, replacing Aurelio Andreazzoli.

The 37-year-old former midfielder played for the Rossoblu during the 2008-09 campaign.

He retired from professional football at the end of 2017-18 and spent last season coaching PSG's Under-19 team.

TMW caught up with Motta as he arrived in the Ligurian capital and told its correspondent he was “ready to get going".
