 These remarks were immediately criticized by the club management, who consequently declared they might reconsider Guidolin's position as head coach in the near future.On March 24 Palermo announced to have sacked Guidolin and reappointed Colantuono at the helm of the "rosanero".In the debut match for his second tenure, Palermo lost 1–0 to Napoli, suffering the match's lone goal during injury time, but managed to defeat 3–2 third-placed Juventus the following week thanks to a late goal by full back Mattia Cassani, and then winning the Sicilian derby the following week thanks to a free kick by Fabrizio Miccoli.
