Probably one of the more difficult months we have had playing all the big sides together though could be bonus coming to the end of the season. Losing at Genoa and to Juventus at home were obviously the main disappointments, however Juventus are the league leaders and in great form so it was to be expected if I'm honest.
Beating AC Milan was probably the main highlight of the month, however, it was an expected win as they are slipping down the table futher and further, currently in 14th place.
We could of in fact snatched a win at Inter Milan if it wasn't for F.Brienza skying a penalty over the bar in the 91st minute which would have made it 2-1 with no chance of them coming back to get result. Was literally the last kick of the game!

Still following mate, keep it up. Nie to see that Hernendez is playing well had him in one of my previous saves and he was top class when fit

A very busy month ahead with 5 games in total. 3 away games and 2 at home.

So, a busy month but a very good one, only dropping 2 points in 5 games! It definately came at the right time too as we were struggling with form etc.
We honestly didn't deserve to win the game at Napoli, they were the far better team, we quite simply just took our chances and they didn't.
The Cheivo game was very different, we dominated from start to finish, having 7 CCC's, we just couldn't put the ball in the back of the net for a second time unfortunately meaning it ended all square.
The Fiorentina match, well, that was a dirty game, a man sent off in each team, however we still held our own on our home ground and took the three points meaning Fiorentina hadn't won in 4!
Parma game was a strange one also, we seemed to dominate possession and chances, we just couldn't convert, it took to the 83rd minute before we could find a winner. Parma also had a man sent off.

April & May
As the end of the season drew near, i realised there was only 2 games in May, so i have decided to combine the last two months in my first season as Palermo manager.
April
Serie A
Palermo vs Cagliari
2-0
A.Hernandez, A.Mehmeti
Serie A
Atalanta vs Palermo
2-1
F.Brienza
Serie A
Palermo vs Pescara
4-2
F.Brienza, A.Mehmeti
Serie A
Udinese vs Palermo
2-1
F.Miccoli
Serie A
Palermo vs Catania
5-0
A.Hernandez x3, R.Y.Jenssen, N.Ravaglia (O.G)
May
Serie A
Siena vs Palermo
1-5
A.Hernandez x4, R.Drenthe
Last Game of the Season
Serie A
Lazio vs Palermo
2-1
R.Y.Jenssen
An average two months that was very up and down, played outstandingly well in all our home games but played less than average in our away games. It seems to be the story of our season in all honesty.
I was thinking of highlights throughout the final two months of the campaign and honestly? I can't split the home result against Catania and the away result against Siena. If i had to choose it would be the away result, because of the fact we have been lackluster away from home for the majority of the season.
So as i say, that brings the season to a close and there will be an end of season summary to follow in the next update!

End of Season Summary
View attachment 266554
A solid 3rd place which takes us into the Champions League next season, the building begins now that the foundations have been laid.
So, with the final league table looking like this, it was plain to see the underachievers and overachievers. Juventus walked the league winning it by a massive 20 points!
Underachievers (Media Prediction)
AC.Milan (1st)
Fiorentina (6th)
Inter Milan (3rd)
Overachievers (MP)
Chievo (16th)
Sampdoria (14th)
Palermo (8th)
Promotions and Relegations
Relegated from Serie A are as follows:
Catania
Parma
Fiorentina
Promoted to Serie A are as follows:
Novara
Cesena & either
Nocerina
Thought i would also give you a little insight to the quality of football we played throughout the season by providing you with some Palermo stats, these are as follows:
Top Goal Scorer: A.Hernandez (37)
Most Assists: R.Y.Jenssen (16)
Most Man of the Match Awards: A.Hernandez (12)
Most Yellows: R.Drenthe (16)
Most Reds: R.Drenthe (3)
Highest Average Rating: A.Hernandez (7.60)
Below is the stats of all the team throughout the season sorted by average rating.
View attachment 266562
A few of our players also made it into the Team of the Year! Namely, Abel Hernandez.
View attachment 266564
What a strike force that is!
So, we move onto my awards, the award for Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year!
And the winner of the Player of the Year goes to....
Abel Hernandez!
View attachment 266566
Definately no suprises here, 37 Goals in 37 Appearances, how could he not of got the award?
And finally, the winner of the Young Player of the Year goes to....
Ezequiel Munoz
View attachment 266567
The centre half had a great campaign with an average rating above 7. I said at the start of the season he would be vital, and he was!
So this brings the season to a close with all games played and we finished in a solid 3rd place. It could have been 2nd if we didn't slip up in the final game of the season, but all in all, we're in the Champions League next season and we will have to build on that and our league performances if we are to stand any chance of finishing were we did this season.

Summer Update
View attachment 267121
Palermo have today announced that Steven Mckergan has signed a 4 year contract extension to his current deal. It is said that Mr.Mckergan had 1 year left on his current deal.
View attachment 267123
"We actually have the manager on the line now i believe? We cross over to Sicily!"
View attachment 267129
Sky Sports: "Hello Mr.Mckergan, how do you feel to have agreed a new contract at Palermo?"
Me: "Hello Jim, I feel absolutely delighted, as i said at the very beginning, it is truly a dream come true to be part of this club so early on in my career and i fully believe in the project they have going here"
Sky Sports: "That's great! So, how do you feel about the club releasing how much you have to spend this year and is it true, and do you have any targets in mind as of yet?"
Me: "In all honesty Jim, it was a joint decision, we discussed it, and i fully believe the supporters of this club should know what is happening with the club they support, so yes, the statement is true. As for targets, yes i have a few in mind, we need strengthening in a few areas, but i think i will keep that to myself for now"
Sky Sports: "Thank you for your time Steven, and good luck with the beginning of the new season"
So, it has been confirmed! In a dramatic change of tactics, Palermo have announced what the club will be giving Mckergan to spend during these summer months before the new campaign begins. He will approximately have 20M Euros to spend on players and what is thought to be around 570k for wages.
However, if Mckergan sees fit to sell players in his squad at this present moment, ALL money he makes will be added to the funds available to bring new quality in!
