MILAN (Reuters) - Diego Lopez became the fourth coaching victim of the season at Palermo when he was fired by the relegation-threatened Sicilian club on Tuesday. After losing their last five games, culminating in Sunday's 4-0 defeat at AC Milan, Palermo are one place off the bottom in Serie A and eight adrift of safety with seven matches to play. Baccaglini, a U.S-born businessman, was named as president last month after he agreed that his fund would take over the club. He replaced the flamboyant Maurizio Zamparini who oversaw nearly 40 coaching changes during his 15 turbulent years in charge. Palermo began the season under Davide Ballardini who left by mutual consent in early September.
