De Zerbi, who left the club last month by mutual agreement, has no previous Serie A coaching experience.

On Sunday Palermo's president Maurizio Zamparini announced that the club will be sold to a group headed by Italian American entrepreneur Frank Cascio. He said the deal is subject to due diligence.
