Zamparini: 'Ballardini doesn’t want to coach Palermo anymore. De Zerbi or Reja …'
Palermo presidentMaurizio Zamparini declared to Mediagol: "Ballardini sent me a text message indicating that he does not want to coach Palermo anymore. We are now trying to find a replacement, thankfully we won’t be playing on Sunday. There is something that wasn’t correct, during the transfer market he first wanted an old keeper and he then wanted a striker. We tried to do our best to accommodate him. We tried to get Balotelli and we had offered him 1.5 million euros but he finally signed with Nice for 4 million euros a season. As for Cassano, he agreed to join us but then this quickly changed . We did not want to sign a striker just for the sake of it, we will now wait and see what we can do in January. Borriello was our priority but he then chose Cagliari instead. De Zerbi or Reja? I do not want to speak about it, our team was built for Ballardini’s 4-3-3 … but let’s see. I will take a few days to think about it ".
