Five for Five

Over the past month, Palermo could not be beaten – the only problem was they couldn’t win either. After five straight draws, the Rosanero scored five goals against Modena to return to winning ways. Palermo have been pretty remarkable in their first season back in Serie B after a three year absence. There were hardships […]

The Reinforcements Are Here

The Rosanero revolution continues to march forward. On the pitch, Palermo just had their nine game unbeaten run come to a halt away from home against second place Genoa. Off the pitch, the club was as active as it had ever been during the winter transfer window with six transfers in and seven transfers out. […]

Continuity is Key

A lot has happened in the last two months. When we last met, we were calling for patience. This plea was delivered despite a win against Genoa that came on the heels of two consecutive losses. Naturally, that patience would continue to be tested the following three matches. First up was an unfortunate 1-0 loss […]

Palermo’s Go-to-Market Strategy

The transfer market officially kicks off in a week and a half and Palermo are already working on their go-to-market strategy. In the midst of a potential sale of the club and with no sporting director officially named (Rino Foschi should be announced on June 30th when his contract expires at Cesena), Palermo have a lot of moving […]

Offseason Upheaval

Vazquez celebrates his goal surrounded by Rosanero coaching staff

It’s not that one expects things to change overnight, but there was hope that staying up in Serie A would create an opportunity to bring some stability back to Palermo. Of course, with Maurizio Zamparini at the helm, hope turns into a plea for at least an ounce of realization that a club can only be successful […]

Fabio Viviani – Caretaker

With the craziness that has transpired over the past couple weeks, Palermo will have their third coach take charge of a match on Sunday against Genoa – or fourth if you consider Sorrentino’s performance and Ballardini’s present-but-absent display. If a recap is necessary about Zamparini’s actions, sit down, grab some popcorn and read up here. The […]

Zampa-Madness

Records were meant to be broken and Zamparini’s actions over the past month did just that.  Writing for Football Italia, the situation regarding the tumultuous past few weeks is all explained: You’ll never understand the world of Maurizio Zamparini. It all started with the sacking of Zamparini’s longest contiguously tenured coach after 776 days on the […]

A Good Start

Abdelhamid El Kaoutari celebrates his match-winning goal for Palermo against Genoa

A 90th minute winner, a clean sheet, a solid display and the full three points is a great way to kick off the 2015-16 Serie A season. Palermo had not won their opening fixture since the 2011-12 season in the 4-3 thriller over Inter led by Devis Mangia. Ironically, the man coaching Inter at the time […]
