Humiliating defeat cost the job to the "Palermo" coach © EuroFootball.com

Serse Cosmi became the new head coach after Delio Rossi was dismissed from his duties.

The specialist lost his job after suffering a humiliating defeat in the Italian championship against "Udinese" 0-7 over the weekend.

The news of Rossi's days in the team being numbered was immediately confirmed by the club's president Maurizio Zamparini right after the match. After consulting with several candidates, he chose Cosmi, who led "Livorno" last season but resigned due to disagreements with the management.
