KVO released a statement confirming they had reached an agreement with Genoa to release Blessin, with the Serie A side paying a release clause.

He is replaced on the Oostende bench by assistant Markus Plfanz until a new coach can be found.

Genoa's new American owners 777 sacked Davide Ballardini in November, then fired Andriy Shevchenko less than two months later.

German Blessin, 48, has signed a deal to 2024.
