Palermo Appoints Inzaghi After Pisa Serie A Promotion

Filippo Inzaghi has been appointed as the new head coach of Serie B side Palermo on a multi-year contract, starting July 1, with an option for a third year if the club achieves promotion to Serie A. This move comes weeks after Inzaghi secured promotion to Serie A with Pisa, finishing second in Serie B and ending Pisa's 34-year absence from the top flight. Palermo, owned by the City Football Group, reportedly paid nearly one million euros to release Inzaghi from his contract with Pisa. The Sicilian club finished eighth in the 2024-25 Serie B season, narrowly missing the promotion play-offs, and now look to Inzaghi to guide them back to Serie A. Inzaghi, a former Italy striker and World Cup winner, has a track record of promotions from Serie B to Serie A with several clubs, including Milan, Venezia, Benevento, and Pisa. His appointment marks Palermo's intent to leverage his experience to return to the top tier of Italian football.
