Juventus defeat last straw for Palermo president
Palermo have axed coach Stefano Colantuono and named Francesco Guidolin as his replacement.
Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini decided to act after Sunday's 5-0 defeat to Juventus.
Colantuono only arrived at the Sicilian club in the summer, but he has failed to win approval from Zamparini.
"The club wants to communicate that we have taken control of the side away from Stefano Colantuono," read a statement on the club's official website.
"We want to thank Colantuono for all his work and the post will be given to Francesco Guidolin."
This is Guidolin's fourth spell in charge of Palermo and he only left the club at the end of last season.
Guidolin was linked with the Queens Park Rangers job last month, but he has decided to take up Palermo's offer of a fourth spell at the helm.
