Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini opted to replace coach Walter Zenga with Delio Rossi and explained his decision to the press.
"There were some negatives and I did not see any new possibilities [for Zenga]. My decision was quick, because I feared Rossi might choose someone else," he explained to Radio Radio.
Zenga had an inconsistent start to the season at Palermo, with the team lying in mid-table with 17 points from 13 matches.
"Rossi is a tactician with charisma, Zenga is not," continued the outspoken president.
"Palermo could not impose themselves against teams fighting against relegation.
"I yelled at my sporting director [Walter] Sabatini, asking why he recommended Rossi in June, who was a more experienced coach. I decided [on Zenga], because Sabatini did not want to impose a coach that he knew. It would have been interpreted as favourtism.
Sabatini and Rossi worked together at Lazio from 2004 to 2008 and will renew their partnership at Palermo.
