MILAN (Reuters) - Genoa have had little to celebrate in the last few months but 16-year-old striker Pietro Pellegri has given Italy's oldest club at least one reason to be cheerful. Genoa coach Ivan Juric, whose future is in doubt because of poor results over the past few months, tried to keep a lid on expectations, saying Pellegri must focus on improving. "He's 16 years old and it will not be a problem to manage him. "Last year, he never attacked the penalty area, he wanted to play with his back to goal. "He still has huge potential for improvement and he can do that if he keeps working the way he is now."
