Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini insists coach Davide Ballardini's job is safe after their 4-0 derby humiliation against Catania yesterday.
"I have no intention of firing Ballardini," assured Zamparini.
"We lost badly. This is the worst moment of my time at Palermo. Now the players will go into a pre-match training camp and that is all there is to be said.
"Zenga beat Ballardini 4-0, this is the truth. Now we have to roll our sleeves up and work hard."
