Genoa are hiring KV Oostende coach Alexander Blessin.
Genoa sacked Andriy Shevchenko this week and have moved to buy Blessin out of his contract.
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.
