Awkward! Broadcaster confuses Genoa’s player Amorim with manager Amorim

On February 15th, in the 25th round of Serie A, Cremonese drew 0-0 with Genoa. During this match, the broadcasting company made a rather embarrassing blunder.

Genoa signed Alexsandro Amorim in the January 2026 winter transfer window, but he wasn't widely known.

Tears up in the match, Genoa coach Daniele De Rossi had Alexsandro Amorim stand up from the bench to replace Frendrup. The broadcast displayed their names and photos: Frendrup's picture was his own, but Amorim's picture was misleading—it wasn't the young Genoa midfielder Alexsandro Amorim, but rather former Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim, who had recently been sacked by the club.
