SERIE A strugglers Palermo continue to astound after appointing their FOURTH manager of the season.
The fallen Italian giants went through SEVEN gaffers in the last campaign.
Which means they’re now on their ELEVENTH boss in 18 months.
Diego Lopez is the man tasked with reviving Palermo’s fortunes, with the 42-year-old Uruguayan’s first game away at third-place Napoli this weekend.
Lopez has signed a deal until June 2018 but history shows he might not even last until this summer.
However, the former Cagliari and Bologna coach is confident he can turn things around in Sicily, saying: “I think it’s a unique opportunity for me.
“We know it’s a complicated situation but I believe we can save ourselves. We need to work a lot and speak little.
“Palermo is an important footballing town. I met [president] Maurizio Zamparini yesterday and he asked me to do a good job and said he believes in me.”
