 This was followed by a third consecutive defeat, a disappointing 3–2 home loss to Genoa, and subsequent criticism by Guidolin who attacked Palermo fans declaring "it's like playing in hell here".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".
