Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini slammed the performance of coach Delio Rossi after their defeat to derby rivals Catania.

Zamparini spoke out following Saturday's 2-0 defeat.

"It was the usual team performance we have already seen on our travels," snapped Zamparini in the Gazzetta dello Sport.

"We were scared. I cannot help but point out the excellent form of (Abel) Hernandez. I saw mistakes by the Coach, as with two goals down I would've put Hernandez on earlier rather than Nicolas Bertolo."
