Colantuono's Palermo pledge
Friday 23 May, 2008

Palermo boss Stefano Colantuono has promised to put the Rosanero back on the right track next term.

It was a poor season for the Sicilians, who started their campaign with hopes of Champions League qualification but finished in the middle of the pack.

Colantuono was sacked early on with his men in sixth place, but was reinstated after a disastrous period under Francesco Guidolin and is ready to turn things around.

“It was a season of transition,” the former Atalanta Coach told TRM.

“Perhaps we could have done a little better, but it was the end of one cycle and the start of another.

“Different players will arrive and they will be the right men to achieve something important for this club and the new project.

“With a plan in place we can maintain a certain level of performance and reach the objectives that are in keeping with the expectations that people have, which are staying in the Cup competitions and finishing high up in the League.”

Palermo’s first task in the summer market is to find a replacement for striking star Amauri, who is set to sign for Juventus within the next few days.
