If Palermo lose against Lazio this weekend ‘relegation will be around the corner’, warns President Maurizio Zamparini.

The Rosanero were beaten 3-1 by Chievo yesterday and are in serious threat of the drop.

Volatile owner Zamparini today said he thought Coach Walter Novellino ‘was confused’ during the defeat and demanded an explanation for the decisions made.

He went on to highlight the problems caused by the absence of star forward Franco Vazquez, who will be suspended when they face Simone Inzaghi’s Aquile at the Stadio Renzo Barbera on Sunday.

“I prayed on my knees to Franco not to get booked, because we need him and instead he went and protested at the final whistle and the referee didn’t let him off,” Zamparini told Giornale di Sicilia.

“It’ll be very hard against Lazio without Vazquez. Not winning against the Biancocelesti would be a blow, relegation would be around the corner.”
