Genoa meet Parma this weekend, with TMW reporting that Gilardino is now being questioned inside the board room.

As such, the result against Parma could be decisive.

Waiting in the wings is Davide Ballardini, who is available and ready to step in should Gilardino be removed. Ballardini, 60, has already had FOUR spells in charge of the Grifone.
