Zamparini: 'I want Rossi back'

Maurizio Zamparini reveals he sacked Stefano Pioli “while waiting for Delio Rossi to come back to the Palermo bench.”
The President wielded the axe on Coach Pioli this evening after an Europa League exit in the preliminary round and some disappointing friendly results.

“I handed the team to youth team manager Devis Mangia while waiting for Rossi to decide to come back to the Palermo bench,” the President told Ansa news agency.

Rossi was fired and rehired last season before his contract was not renewed in June, but replacement Pioli lasted only two months.

“We both took time to think things over this summer. I want Rossi to come back. At the moment Mangia is in charge and, if he leads Palermo to an amazing victory over Inter, then maybe he’ll continue on the bench.”

The Sicilians open their Serie A campaign against Inter on the weekend of September 10-11.

We all knew what would happen, he just said it out loud...

I love Zamparini and Calcio Serie A <3

I doubt Delio Rossi will accept the job and Ranieri would last a week at most..

Is he just mental or did he do these things for publicity stunt?

I think he wants to be the famous face of Palermo, Or he is just mental.

He should include a high severance fee in his contract, that might make Zamp think twice before doing it.

He does all these things because a millionaire soul can only be driven by blow and hookers for so long. Doing ridiculous shit like this not only makes you the 8055, but also puts you on the front page of La Gazzetta dello Sport. What else could a misunderstood old rich man wish for?

Dellio Rossi 1 week ago said he will never return to Palermo

I want little of that weed zamparini smokes.

Sure, Zamp's a good quote and all, but it seems some times the guy doesn't have a clue what hes doing.

Palermo is going down this year...They have gutted their roster worse then Udinese. Already fired up and coming Serie A coach Pioli, and have made no notable signings.

This *bleep* should just sell the club ..It's past a joke now...
