Di Vaio Comes Home, Hoping to Find the Scoring Boots he Left in Parma
By: Martha | January 22nd, 2007
After plying his trade in Spain and France, Marco Di Vaio is back (or he will be later today), hoping to regain the form that made him a calcio god during the late-1990s and early 2000s. He’s currently at Monaco in the middle of a two-year deal, but is having a hard time getting into the starting lineup with all the competition up front.
In that context, joining Genoa to help the Serie B side secure promotion has got to be a nearly irresistible offer — back in Italy, joining a team on the rise and, in a perfect world, getting himself back on the Azzurri radar. The agreement between the clubs is done and dusted — Genoa are reportedly paying about €2 million for the player — and Di Vaio is set to sign a multi-year deal deal; he’ll be formally introduced to the press today.
For the sake of the media, here’s hoping he scores buckets of goals and is a heart-warming success story. Because, you know, it would suck for him to make a triumphant return that morphs into a lot of unproductive running around and a place on the bench.
