Palermo boss Giuseppe Sannino has refused to be drawn on speculation regarding his future at the Stadio Renzo Barbera.
The Sicilian outfit have picked up just one point from their opening three games and pressure is already beginning to build on the 55-year-old, who only took over in June.
"I am relaxed and have been for seven years," said Sannino.
"I understand it is the job of journalists to go beyond the field and try to stir up stories, but this soap opera of Zamparini being a president who fires everyone has gone on for too long."
Sannino left Siena to take over the Rosanero.
