The Rise and Fall of Palermo: How Did It Happen?

Рет қаралды 251,291

3 жыл бұрын

Ten years ago, US Palermo finished 5th in Serie A, narrowly missing out on Champions League qualification, playing a vibrant brand of attacking football with talent like Javier Pastore, Edinson Cavani, and Fabrizio Miccoli.
In the space of a decade, the Rosanero have gone from rivalling the likes of Inter Milan and Juventus, to playing amateur football in Italy's fourth tier, Serie D.
It's a remarkable decline, and in this short documentary, HITC Sevens takes a look at the causes and factors that contributed to both Palermo's rise and decline between 2002 and 2019.
*My apologies for referring to Delio Rossi as Delio Rosso throughout.

I started watching palermo around 2011, I was amazed by their fun way to play. I was one of the very few norwegian fans, I had to read every news article in Italian (with no pre-knowledge of the language, except google translate). And I can tell you this, hell it was a bumpy ride. Watching Zamparini destroy everything month after month, I think the turning point for me was when he sacked Pioli, then I understood there was no way back. I watched them play Serie B/A on severly crappy illegal streams for years, when they finally hit Serie D, I was finally happy again. Lets hope they can rise from the ashes. Also, I lolled when you mentioned Ezequiel Munoz as a dependable centerback. Hell he turned out a decent player, but he made more penalties than anyone in the start. Guy was so buff he pushed down anyone, all the time. I do love him tho, but you never knew if he was gonna win you the match or make you lose it (most likely the latter).

So, a team that languished in the lower leagues for many years before it's granted fortune by an ambitious owner, raising the club to an unpredecented height in its history... only for that same owner to sunk them to the ground. Seems fair to say that this is Italy's version of Watford, except Zamperini is even MORE trigger happy than Watford's owners (and just flat out insane), and Palermo was arguably much more succesful. Good video as always.
