Palermo president Zamparini sacks Zenga
Palermo have sacked coach Walter Zenga after a poor run of results.
Zenga was dismissed after Sunday's 1-1 draw against Catania which extended the Sicilian outfit's winless run to four games.
A statement from the club read: "Palermo announces it has dismissed Walter Zenga as coach of the first team.
"The club wishes to thank Zenga for the work done and wishes him the best of luck in the future."
Palermo are 12th in Serie A with 17 points from 13 games.
Zenga replaced Davide Ballardini in the summer and was under contract until June 2012.
He had been given a vote of confidence ahead of yesterday's game only for club president Maurizio Zamparini to change in his mind.
An early favourite for the hotseat is former Lazio coach Delio Rossi.
