Gian Piero Gasperini has left Palermo for the second time in six weeks as Serie A's bottom club prepare to make a fifth managerial appointment of the current season.
Zamparini told the Corriere dello Sport early on Monday: "We won't be able to save ourselves now, it's folly to think we can do it. "We would need a lot of luck and for our players to act as if they're men rather than baby food. I don't know what they are made of. "I'm not giving up but the maths reads otherwise. In my 30 years in football I faced relegation twice with Venezia and on both occasions we returned to Serie A." The first task for Gasperini's replacement is a trip to face third-placed AC Milan at the San Siro on Sunday. Palermo are currently tied for last place with Pescara on 21 points and five points from safety.
