Maurizio Zamparini has admitted that he has spent too much on firing coaches after sacking three last season alone.
The 71-year-old Palermo chief is known for not giving the man in charge much time to impress, and has already sacked Giuseppe Sannino after just three Serie A games this term.
“if I thought about the money I’ve spent on coaches, I’d feel like shooting myself," he admitted to Tuttosport.
“It must be more than €10 million, as I’ve been firing people for 25 years. What really hurts me is that a factory worker won’t earn €1m in his entire life, so we ought to give much less [money] to coaches.
“The wages should be a maximum of €100,000. It’s ridiculous that working as a coach for three years means you never have to work again."
New coach Gian Piero Gasperini has his first game in charge of Palermo against Atalanta on Sunday.
