It's official now.  Palermo coach Stefano Pioli sacked on Wednesday August 31, 2011.  I usually report the club position when a coach is sacked, but the 2011-2012 Season has not even started.   Point is that the pre-season of Palermo  was far from positive including elimination of the UEFA Europa League during the play-offs.  Pioli not lasting even two months with Palermo.  Stefano Pioli was presented as coach on  Saturday July 2, 2011

In the meantime, David Mangia coach of the Primavera (Palermo youth team) will be directing the team.  Palermo will start the Sereie A  with a home game Palermo-Inter on September 11 at the Renzo Barbera Stadium.  - Click here for the complete Italian Serie A 2011 - 2012 Calendar

Imagine the news was so predictable that even the front pages from today's Italian newspaper  had it coming.
