Beppe Iachini celebrated Palermo’s first victory of the season, a last-gasp 2-1 over Cesena. “We deserved it.”

The Coach had been under fire and potentially sacked if he failed to win, so Giancarlo Gonzalez’s header deep into stoppages may well have saved his job.

The Coach had been under fire and potentially sacked if he failed to win, so Giancarlo Gonzalez’s header deep into stoppages may well have saved his job.

“My lads put in a great performance today,” Iachini told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“We were coming off an ugly game against Empoli, it’s true, but before that we had always played pretty well. Now we are sharper and allowed very little to Cesena, apart from their penalty.

“We deserved it. I really liked the team spirit shown by those who played and the reserves too. Gonzalez had some fitness problems when he arrived, but he’s getting back in shape now and I’m happy for him.”
