Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini won’t sack Beppe Iachini again “even if we lose on Sunday”.
The fiery Rosanero patron dismissed Iachini earlier in the season – despite a 1-0 win over Chievo in his last game – and no fewer than five men held the position before he was recalled.
Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini won’t sack Beppe Iachini again “even if we lose on Sunday”.
The fiery Rosanero patron dismissed Iachini earlier in the season – despite a 1-0 win over Chievo in his last game – and no fewer than five men held the position before he was recalled.
Davide Ballardini took over after Iachini’s dismissal, but spectacularly fell out with the squad and was sacked, again after a win.
Fabio Viviani then took over on a caretaker basis, before Argentinian Guillermo Barros Schelotto was appointed as the new permanent Coach.
However, he didn’t have the correct qualifications to take over a Serie A team, so Giovanni Tedesco was the official Coach while Palermo tried to sort out paperwork.
It was ultimately decided that Schelotto wouldn’t be allowed to take over, so he left the club, eventually taking over at Boca Juniors.
Giovanni Bosi then stepped in, but was fired after just one game, a 3-1 defeat to Torino, with Iachini returning.
In the two games since his re-appointment, the Rosanero have lost 5-0 to Roma and drawn with Bologna, but even Zamparini won’t make another change this season.
“I won’t send the Coach away even if we lose against Inter on Sunday,” Zamparini insisted on Radio2.
“We’re heading into the last games now and I can’t do it. I’d taken Schelotto, but the European Coaches Union said it wasn’t allowed…”
