davide ballardiniPalermo have officially confirmed the sacking of coach Giuseppe Iachini, as well as the hiring of his successor Davide Ballardini.

The Rosanero have been struggling of late in Serie A, and despite picking up a 1-0 win over Chievo last Sunday, controversial president Maurizio Zamparini has decided that a change had to be made.

“Palermo announce that Giuseppe Iachini has been relieved of his duties as coach of the first team,” said the club on their official website.

“We want to thank the coach on behalf of the president and the club for all of the work he has put in for the last two seasons and we want to wish him all the best for the future.

“Simultaneously, the club have hired Davide Ballardini to take charge of the first team.”

Ballardini has previously coached the Aquile during the 2008/09 season.
