Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini admits Rino Gattuso is a candidate for the coach's post.
AC Milan legend Gattuso is currently playing for FC Sion in Switzerland.
"I really like Gattuso a lot," Zamparini told Radio 2.
"He could be our new tactician just as soon as I have resolved the situation here with (Giuseppe) Sannino. I think Sannino has probably already resigned so we just have to reach an agreement."
