Fabrizio Miccoli says Palermo's shock victory over Roma last night was in part due to sacked coach Stefano Colantuono.

The striker said: "We must not forget Colantuono, because we worked all summer with him. Then, what has happened has happened. When you change coach, you are always very sorry.

"Davide Ballardini has now arrived, I do not know him personally but he's made a good impression."
