Palermo Coach Eugenio Corini has compared the organisation at his club to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.

Reports emerged this week that the Rosaneri boss was set to be sacked by President Maurizio Zamparini, who was said to be considering re-hiring Roberto De Zerbi.

"When you choose this job, you know you can be sacked after one game. I have thought about the risk of being sacked," Corini admitted at the Press conference to preview today's trip to Sassuolo.

Palermo Coach Eugenio Corini has compared the organisation at his club to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.

Reports emerged this week that the Rosaneri boss was set to be sacked by President Maurizio Zamparini, who was said to be considering re-hiring Roberto De Zerbi.

"When you choose this job, you know you can be sacked after one game. I have thought about the risk of being sacked," Corini admitted at the Press conference to preview today's trip to Sassuolo.

"Objectively, I didn't expect to have been under discussion, as there have been improvements.

"Regarding what has happened, maybe it would have been best to go home. Then I thought about who works and who loves Palermo. I got the full support of the city and I preferred to continue.

"The players are following me and the supporters appreciate the effort.

"We will do everything we can to get results because the fans and the boys deserve it.

"I would stay here for 20 years, with a healthy dialogue. I am staying here, but every match at Palermo is like an atomic bomb! Here it is always Hiroshima!

"They got six points in 12 matches and since I have been here there have been significant improvements. If people don't understand where we started it becomes difficult."

Palermo have taken four points from seven matches since Corini's arrival and are currently seven points adrift of safety. The Coach admits that talks have taken place between himself and Zamparini, and that the duo did not share the same views.

"Yesterday, the tone with the President was calm, but it was also understood that we didn't have the same views."
