Francesco Guidolin found himself back at Serie A club Palermo for the fourth time Monday after the Sicilian team sacked Stefano Colantuono.

Colantuono was axed after Sunday's 5-0 thrashing at Juventus which left Palermo, a pre-season title bidder, in 8th place, ten points behind leaders Inter.

Guidolin led the team in 2004-05 and again, twice, in 2006-07 - when he was fired in April and rehired in May.

Colantuono is the fifth Serie A coach to lose his job this season after changes at Livorno, Reggina, Cagliari and Siena.
