Palermo admit they considered hiring underfire Inter Milan coach Gian Piero Gasperini.
The Rosanero were looking for a Delio Rossi replacement and the former Genoa man was considered before the Sicilian outfit hired Stefano Pioli instead.
"The reality is that the first Coach I contacted was Gasperini," President Maurizio Zamparini told the Processo di Biscardi.
"Fortunately, however, I understood that he is a guy who is too much of a fundamentalist and that is why I changed my mind.
"Sooner or later, he'll understand that he has to change this mentality."
