After hanging up his boots, Antonio coached Lumezzane, Trento, Livorno and Pro Sesto in the men’s game before switching to women’s football.

Genoa clinched promotion to the Serie B last season but have found the going tough so far with 8 points after 12 games as they sit third from bottom.

Lucia joined the club during the summer transfer window from Raiders Lija and has played six matches for Genoa Women so far.

Genoa’s next league game is against Hellas Verona Women, on January 15.
