“We started out a little tense, but as time wore on we managed to convert almost all our chances,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.

“It was a pretty clear victory and after a certain point it was one-way traffic. Palermo were gambling with their Serie A safety, so it was certainly not easy.

“After the Cyril Thereau equaliser, the team gained confidence and played decent football. It was an intense encounter and some of my players confirmed they are in good shape.

“Diego Lopez surprised me, because we thought Palermo would play 4-2-3-1, instead they had three at the back.”
