Sannino named Palermo manager

Palermo, Italy (Sports Network) - Palermo announced on Wednesday that the club has signed Giuseppe Sannino to be its new manager.

Sannino joins the club on a two-year contract after helping Siena finish 14th in Serie A last season.

Bortolo Mutti was released by Palermo after just six months in charge, when he took over for Devis Mangia.

But Mutti was only able to help Palermo to 16th place as his team failed to win any of its last eight games.
