Giuseppe Iachini stepped down as coach of Palermo, Italian media reported, and immediately found himself the target of the ire of the club's controversial president Maurizio Zamparini. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Iachini handed in his resignation to Zamparini just as the Sicilians sit one point and one place above the relegation zone in Serie A.
"Iachini is an idiot who makes his team play badly, who loses matches, who has taken an average of 0.7 points per game in his last 13 matches and doesn't even accept it when you say to him 'bloody hell, try to put a good team out on the field'," Zamparini told Radio24.
