Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini has exploded on radio today.

Zamparini, ranting on Radio 24, blasted Rosanero players Enzo Maresca and Franco Vazquez.

“I am the President of the club and they must respect the club," said Zamparini. “In Italy thanks to a stupid law the players are considered to be employees.

“Maresca was talking bull****. I still care for him, but I'll give him a telling off and warn he mustn't talk rubbish anymore. He's ignorant and should get informed before talking ****. It's not true that Iachini helped me earn €60m.

“All the team is behind me, except for a player and a half. Maresca is the one, Vazquez is the half. From now on, before talking about the club, these players must ask for my authorisation.

“Maresca should be thinking about the €500,000 he earns net at his age. Vazquez gets €800,000 and last season our books read -€23m, so we only balanced them thanks to Paulo Dybala's sale."
