Flushed with success he moved on to Genoa who had just been promoted to Serie A. Their success was short lived as a match-fixing scandal was unearthed, Genoa were relegated and Francesco rescinded his contract. He was then responsible for managing Monaco in 2005-6 and in May he left the club, making a U-turn to Palermo in May 2006. During the next year the club had bad luck, bad results, a riot involving a policeman being killed, so he was sacked in April 2007 and then re-employed in May. He was sacked but found himself back at Palermo in November. The club had terrible results and he was sacked again in March 2008. This was not the end.
He goes on through Parma, Udinese and in 2016 Swansea. briefly, when he was sacked and replaced by American Bob Bradley!
After that lot, in England, we have a few up and downs in management.
Darren Ferguson has been recalled to Peterborough, for the third time, having been there in 2007 and 2009.
John Sheridan has been manager at Oldham Athletic on five different occasions. He has recently been recalled to Chesterfield having also "failed" once.
Keegan did Newcastle twice, Mourinho twice at Chelsea and Jardin twice at Monaco (surrounding Henry); AND don't forget Josef Heynckes at Bayern Munich 4 times and finally Vittorio Pozzo, who managed Italy in 1912, 1921, 1924 and between 1929-48. Quite successfully! Like all Italians, beautifully turned out. He also managed Torino and Milan.
Then there's Harry Redknapp............
