The 2015-16 campaign delivered a respectable mid-table finish for Genoa as The Griffins secured 11th place in Serie A. Leading the charge was the fan-favorite Italian striker Leonardo Pavoletti, whose 14 league goals proved vital in a season built on attacking threat and the emergence of his potent goalscoring form. It was a season of individual brilliance for the man nicknamed 'Pavoloso,' cementing his status as the club's talisman and marking a defining chapter in their consistent run in the top flight.. The 2016-17 campaign delivered a tense and turbulent season for Genoa as The Griffins ultimately finished 16th in Serie A, narrowly avoiding the relegation battle. Spearheading the attack was the young Argentine striker Giovanni Simeone, whose 12 goals across all competitions proved crucial in securing their top-flight status. The season is primarily defined by the incredible 3-1 victory over champions Juventus, a match where Simeone scored a heroic brace that famously echoed the feat of his father against the same opponent decades earlier. It was a stressful year, marked by a constant rotation of manager Ivan Jurić, but one that cemented Simeone's emergence as a star and ensured the club's survival in the top division.. The 2017-18 campaign saw a season of significant revival for Genoa, with The Griffins securing a respectable 12th-place finish in Serie A, a notable improvement after finishing 16th the previous year. This turnaround was sparked by the mid-season arrival of manager Davide Ballardini, who successfully steered the club clear of a relegation battle. Leading the line for The Griffins was Gianluca Lapadula, whose 6 league goals proved crucial, anchoring an attack that also included veteran Goran Pandev and a resolute defensive effort. It was a year defined by the club's resilience and managerial stability, providing a solid foundation and securing their Serie A status for another season.. The 2018-19 campaign was a dramatic, season-long fight for survival for Genoa, with The Griffins ultimately finishing a nervous 17th in Serie A, narrowly avoiding relegation on the final day. The season was instantly defined by the stunning arrival of Polish "gunslinger" Krzysztof Piątek, who scored an incredible 13 league goals (19 overall) for the club in just half a season, famously scoring four on his Coppa Italia debut. Piątek's sensational form led to his inevitable mid-season sale to AC Milan, which, coupled with the instability of three different managers, Davide Ballardini, Ivan Jurić, and Cesare Prandelli, made his brief, electrifying presence the defining, bittersweet chapter in the club's desperate battle to stay in the top flight.
