Can anyone beat this.......?
"Palermo have appointed Roberto de Zerbi as their new coach after Davide Ballardini resigned just two games into the new Serie A season.
De Zerbi, 37, previously managed Foggia but left the third-division side in August after two seasons with the club.
Club president Maurizio Zamparini made eight coaching changes last season.
Ballardini was initially sacked as Palermo manager in January 2016 before being reappointed in April as he helped Palermo avoid relegation.
Palermo are 15th in Serie A with one point from two games - above Inter Milan.
Zamparini, who bought Palermo in 2002, has made almost 60 coaching changes in 29 years as club owner." (BBC Sport)

Bye bye
Former Germany player and boss Jurgen Klinsmann has been sacked as coach of the United States.
The 52-year-old, who won the World Cup as a player with Germany in 1990, took over as US boss in 2011.
"We remain confident we have quality players to help us advance to Russia 2018," said US Soccer president Sunil Gulati.
"But the form and growth of the team up to this point left us convinced that we need to go in a different direction."

FOR ONCE ITS THE PRESIDENT THAT GETS THE BOOT
Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini, who has overseen about 40 coaching changes in 15 years as the club's owner, has said he is stepping down.
The Serie A side last month made their 11th coaching change in two seasons by hiring Uruguayan Diego Lopez.
Zamparini bought the club in 2002 when they were in Serie B and said a new owner will be named "within 15 days".

Inter Milan have sacked Stefano Pioli after six months as head coach.
The 51-year-old replaced Frank de Boer in November, signing a contract until the end of June 2018.
With three matches remaining, Inter are seventh in Serie A, three points adrift of AC Milan and the final qualifying spot for the Europa League, and are winless in seven league games.
Youth team coach Stefano Vecchi will take charge of the first team for the rest of the season.
Pioli was Inter's ninth manager since Jose Mourinho left in 2010.
EDIT....I nearly forgot....Diego Simeone has always indicated he would go to Inter eventually! If he misses out on the CL again, will it be sooner rather than later?

One (two?) in......
The Netherlands have appointed Dick Advocaat as head coach for a third time.
The former Rangers and Sunderland boss, 70, announced in March he would be leaving Turkish side Fenerbahce at the end of this season.
Advocaat, who will be assisted by ex-Chelsea manager Ruud Gullit, replaces the sacked Danny Blind.
Blind lost his job after a 2-0 loss to Bulgaria left the Netherlands fourth in their World Cup qualifying group.
BUT....with only the group winners certain to qualify and the 9 group runners up squabbling for the remaining 4 places, they'll have their work cut out to make it.

IT'S NOT JUST IN ENGLAND THAT YOU GET SACKED FOR SUCCEEDING
Roma have wielded the axe on head coach Luciano Spalletti after the Italian guided the side to second in Serie A this season.
The announcement came after Roma beat Genoa 3-2 on Sunday as Diego Perotti's last-minute winner secured automatic qualification for the Champions League.
Spalletti joined Roma for a second spell in January 2016.
"We would like to thank Spalletti for his hard work and his significant contribution since his return," said Roma president Jim Pallotta.

DORTMUND LOOKING FOR A NEW BOSS
Manager Thomas Tuchel has left Borussia Dortmund after two years in charge, the Bundesliga club has said.
The 43-year-old took over following Jurgen Klopp's departure in 2015.
Dortmund beat Eintracht Frankfurt to win the German Cup on Saturday and finished third in the Bundesliga to qualify for the Champions League.
Relations between Tuchel and chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke have been strained since Dortmund's team bus was damaged by an explosion on 11 April.
In a statement, Dortmund said Tuchel's departure was "in no way" related to a "disagreement between two people."
The announcement came after talks between Tuchel and Watzke on Tuesday.
Tuchel claims neither he nor his players were consulted about whether they should play the Champions League quarter-final home tie against Monaco less than 24 hours after three explosions in the area of the team bus.
Watzke denied that was the case and said the claim had annoyed him.
On an official Twitter accounted created on Tuesday, Tuchel said: "I am grateful for two exciting, beautiful and eventful years. It's a pity to not go on.
"Thank you to the fans, the team, the staff and to all who have supported us."
MEANWHILE
Arsenal denied they had approached Dortmund about appointing Tuchel as a replacement for manager Arsene Wenger in March.
AND WAITING IN THE WINGS
Former Borussia Monchengladbach boss Lucien Favre, 59, has been linked with Dortmund after steering Nice to a third-placed finish in Ligue 1.

BYE BYE GUS
Former Sunderland and Brighton boss Gus Poyet has resigned as manager of Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua.
Poyet, 49, made the decision after a 2-1 loss to Henan Jianye on Sunday left Shanghai 12th in the 16-team Chinese Super League.
"It's not an excuse, it's reality. I'm not complaining, it's just been a difficult season," said Poyet.
With just six wins this season, Shanghai are now 32 points behind leaders Guangzhou Evergrande.
The former Chelsea and Tottenham midfielder was expected to build on the club's third place finish when hired in November 2016.
The big-spending club signed Carlos Tevez in 2016 in deal worth £40m. They also spent big on former Chelsea striker Demba Ba, who is yet to feature this season.

AC Milan have sacked Vincenzo Montella as manager and placed Gennaro Gattuso in charge of the first team. ....and he gets off to a bad start by gifting today's opponents with their FIRST POINT OF THE SEASON! "Benevento goalkeeper Alberto Brignoli scored an injury-time equaliser against AC Milan to earn his team the first Serie A point in their history. The keeper, on loan from Juventus, headed in Danilo Cataldi's free-kick to end a record-breaking run of 14 defeats. Serie A debutants Benevento - who were in the third tier in 2015-16 - had lost more games at the start of a season than any team in history from Europe's top five leagues. (BBC Sport)"
