      I don't like to say it because I agree with Mazzone. A few years ago they asked Mazzone on La Domenica Sportiva who would be the next coach sacked and he said "I dont' like to say this, a bad question. It's not just because it's unfair to the coaches but to their family, their friends." Poco Carino

      But I sure don't hope Beretta gets fired and hired again in 1 season like in 07-08 with Siena.

        Monica I hope Beretta make it with Lecce,though I rather see him with Siena.

        Mazzone, I miss him!

          I agree with Monica,the thought of predicting someone losing their job is harsh,but it is the ugly reality of football.I still can't believe the way cuper was sacked from Parma after being brought all the way for Argentina, and in the last game of the season!he didn't even last 3 months.Mind you,he was fired from Real Betis in Dec of 07!

      Man, for sure not Ancelotti nor Spalletti. I will be more worried for Colantuono because Zamparini is so unpredictable. Reja i think he will do better this year. Also De Rossi would be in a risky position with Lotito, so most likely, man, these two are the ones risking more for the crazy presidents.
      What's your take?

      forgot to say it is a good idea to keep this post updated the whole season. Last season you and Kenntak got most of the sacking rights. Man, this season i am ready with Suri's crystal ball for the predictions.

      Where is Suri?

        It will be better to keep track of all sacking and re hiring.

        Suri will be back soon. I know she was good with the "score predictions."

        Kenntak, yes, he was good too and won most predictions, the top winner of the blog.

      Stefano Colantuono might be the first coach to be sacked.I'm sure all of you can guess why I say that.
      I don't see Roma or Milan looking for replacements.Most likely,the majority of sacking and new hiring will be in the bottom half teams .

        I agree Nina the sacking will start with the last 5 bottom teams and I won't be surprised if Delio Rossi is out either if Lazio doesn't win the first 3 matches.

        As for Colantuono may God protect him because Zamparini drives every coach mad to the point of getting a psychiatrist

      Anna-- I agree with you regarding Mario Beretta. If he is fired by Lecce, I would not be surprised to see Giampaolo let go by Siena and Mario Beretta back there. I do not think that Giampaolo is putting his best team on the field and giving his team the best chance to win each time they play. It appears that he is satisfied to do only enough to avoid relegation. Mario Beretta did much more with much less talent last season. There is no doubt in my mind that he would do much better with the talented Siena squad than Giampaolo has done so far this season.

        George, definitely, I rather see Beretta back in Siena because he made so much for Siena and I am sure he still follow their matches. Beretta is, with all respect to Giampaolo, superior.

        Beretta has the will to win not just gets draw or win with one goal. This I admire from Beretta because he is not afraid of the big teams either. Beretta is high class.
