Serie A and B Weekend Round-up: Giornata 13

A day of coaching changes in Serie A. At his first press conference as Palermo boss back in the summer, Walter Zenga famously said his objective for the season was to win the Scudetto. Well 13 games into the season, and Palermo was 15 points behind leaders Inter and didn’t look like Scudetto contenders at all. Maurizio Zamparini grew impatient and sacked him today (I knew the Zenga-Zamparini relationship wouldn’t last a complete season), replacing him with former Lazio boss Delio Rossi, who had always been linked to the Palermo job. Another team has brought in a new manager and that is Siena, who are currently last in the table. Primavera coach Marco Baroni had been the interim manager the last two games while the club searched for a new manager, and had almost brought back Mario Beretta but that fell through. Instead, they have brought in Alberto Malesani, known for his past glory at Parma in the 90’s and for yelling Italian curse words at the Greek media. Personally I think Malesani has had his success as a manager and doesn’t have the magic touch anymore, I don’t know if Siena made the right move. Round-up after the jump.
