http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_ ... jul3l.html Ã¢â‚¬â€œ Thursday 3 July, 2008

Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini has outlined his plan to build a new stadium for the Aquile. The Rosanero have been in their current location previously known as Littorio and La Favorita before adopting the name Renzo Barbera in 2002 in memory of a former President.

The stadium currently holds around 38,000, but Zamparini is hoping to move to grander surroundings.

Ã¢â‚¬Å“We are weighing up a project to build a new stadium and we will take our first steps at the end of the summer,Ã¢â‚¬

Once they learn to play together, becuase there are many new players, this squad will do very well.

Colantuono sees promising Palermo

Palermo boss Stefano Colantuono was encouraged by his sideÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s spirit in their emphatic pre-season victory over Nockberge yesterday.

[quote]The Rosanero endured a miserable campaign last time around and have made sweeping changes in the summer market.

The new men seemed to be settling in well during a 9-0 hammering of Austrian minnows Nockberge, which included a double for Brazilian new boy Tulio De Melo.

Ã¢â‚¬Å“The spirit is right and I can only be happy,Ã¢â‚¬

Rovers track Bresciano

Blackburn Rovers chairman John Williams has revealed the club are monitoring Australia international Mark Bresciano, but insists a defensive midfielder is a priority.

Rovers could be lining up a move for Bresciano - an international colleague of Brett Emerton - after scouts watched the attack-minded Palermo midfielder in a pre-season friendly at the weekend.

Bresciano is also believed to be a target of Manchester City manager and former Blackburn boss Mark Hughes.

Williams has confirmed current chief Paul Ince is interested in Bresciano, although a move for a holding player is likely come first.

"He's a player that Paul is monitoring but his absolute priority at the moment is a holding midfield player," Williams told the Lancashire Telegraph.

Bresciano, though, recently announced that he is happy at Palermo and Blackburn could struggle in any attempt to convince the 28-year-old to leave Italy.

Palermo sack Colantuono!

Palermo have sensationally sacked Stefano Colantuono after just one game of the Serie A season and brought in Davide Ballardini.

Trigger-happy President Maurizio Zamparini has been outspoken in savagely criticising Colantuono after the Rosanero's opening defeat against Udinese.

The Sicilians were also sent crashing out of the Coppa Italia by lowly Ravenna and the notoriously impatient Zamparini has pulled the plug.

Zampa sacked Colantuono last November when Palermo were sixth in Serie A but reinstated him towards the end of the season.

The new man at the helm is Ballardini, who led Cagliari to safety with a remarkable second half of the 2007-08 campaign.

The players were told of the news at training this morning and Ballardini will take charge this afternoon.

Now I can fully say that I've failed to find a proper description to Maurizio Zamparini. He's for sure a big mouth and pathetic. But this isn't enough to describe him, he's far more worse. And if Palermo fail to achieve something - UEFA Cup spot - again this season, he'll be the only one to be flogged. What a hasty dunderhead!

Davide Ballardini is out of the running for the West Ham job after being named as Palermo's new manager.

Palermo have appointed Ballardini as their new boss after axing Stefano Colantuono.

Colantuono has lost his job after crashing out of the Coppa Italia to Serie C outfit Ravenna and losing their opening Serie A game of the season to Udinese.

President Maurizio Zamparini was furious with the manner of the two defeats and has decided to act immediately.

Former Cagliari coach Ballardini had been mooted as a possible replacement for Alan Curbishley at West Ham due to his close friendship with the Hammers' technical director Gianluca Nani, but Ballardini has now killed off the speculation by moving to Palermo.

A club statement read: "US Palermo have sacked Mr Stefano Colantuono from the coaching role of the top team.

"The charge is assigned to Mr Davide Ballardini who will manage the team already from this afternoon's training session."
