Guidolin wants new approach

Palermo coach Francesco Guidolin has urged fans in the Stadio Barbera to change their chanting styles.

A minute’s silence is held before every game this weekend for 38-year-old Chief Inspector Filippo Raciti, but in Italy the crowd usually shows respect by applauding.

"I hope that the minute’s silence on Sunday is truly that," he said. "I also trust that from now on we will no longer hear those vicious chants against opponents, but instead focus on cheering on their own teams. A different civic education is needed."

Sicily was the flashpoint that forced sweeping changes to the security checks in Italian stadiums, although Palermo’s Renzo Barbera is one of only six – seven counting just the Milan season ticket holders at San Siro – that are cleared to welcome fans this weekend.
