Palermo have sacked Gennaro Gattuso and replaced the former Rangers
and AC Milan midfielder with Giuseppe Iachini, the Serie B side said in a
statement on Wednesday.
Gattuso had been appointed in the summer in the hope he could lead
the Sicilian side back to Serie A following their relegation to the
second division last season.
However under Gattuso, making his first serious foray into full-time
coaching, Palermo had collected just seven points from six games, their
latest reverse coming on Tuesday with a 2-1 defeat at Bari.
Palermo club president and owner Maurizio Zamparini, who is known for
frequently changing coaches when faced with unsatisfactory results,
said: “It is with deep regret that we have had to release Gennaro
Gattuso from his position as coach of the squad.
“His first serious coaching position was perhaps too big a responsibility at a club as demanding as Palermo.
“The results have proved us wrong. I have now given Giuseppe Iachini the job of leading us back to Serie A.”
