Maurizio Zamparini: Palermo will qualify for Champions League

Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini is confident his side will obtain Champions League football, despite losing ground to Sampdoria in the race for fourth spot yesterday.

A 2-2 draw with Cagliari left the Rosanero two points adrift of Samp, who were late winners against Milan in Liguria.

But Zamparini has said his players will show effort for the cause in the final four games of term to secure European football.

“Champions League? I think we will get it because the point at Cagliari will determine it,” he told Calciomercato.it.

“It was a strange game because we went down via a deflection and we made mistakes at the back.”

Palermo take on Milan at the weekend and Zampa knows his side need to tread carefully if they are to move closer to the Champions League.

“Milan already have their minds on next season, but technically they are a strong team, and so we have to pay attention,” he concluded.
