Palermo turn to Schelotto?

Shock reports claim Palermo will turn to Guillermo Barros Schelotto to replace Davide Ballardini.

The Coach is expected to be sacked today, having fallen out with the squad to such an extent that he didn’t take the pre-match or post-match team talk for yesterday’s win over Verona.

It was reported this afternoon that the decision had been made, and Fernando Viviani was to be his successor on the Barbera bench.

However, Tuttomercatoweb is now reporting that Viviani is being lined-up for an assistant role, as former Argentinian international Guillermo Barros Schelotto is ready to take over.

The former winger left Lanus last month, having enjoyed a successful period in which he won the Copa Sudamericana in 2013.

The website reports that talks are so advanced that Schelotto could even be on the bench for Sunday’s trip to face Genoa.
