MILAN (Reuters) - Genoa president Enrico Preziosi has confirmed he will sell the struggling Serie A club and has asked anyone who can "match what we have achieved" to step forward. The 69-year-old, who heads Italy's largest toy manufacturer, established Genoa in Serie A during his turbulent 14-year reign but has also twice been banned for misconduct. With the Griffins on a dismal run and down to 16th in Serie A, Preziosi has faced protests from the supporters in the last two months. Preziosi took over the presidency in 2003 with Genoa in Serie B. "I'm proud of having guaranteed the oldest team in Italian football the position it deserves, a difficult goal to achieve in modern football," said Preziosi.
