The newspaper La Stampa, in today`s edition, features the headline `Defeat in Parma, Torino in the abyss: now Baroni could be sacked,` highlighting the Granata`s recent loss against Parma. Torino, appearing devoid of ideas and spirit, suffered another setback away to a team that was seeking its first victory of the season and, thanks to this success, has now overtaken the Granata in the standings.
Marco Baroni`s position on the Torino bench is becoming increasingly precarious. The silence from club management after the match, coupled with rumors of a preliminary approach to Raffaele Palladino (with Paolo Vanoli as another option), deepens the crisis for a `Toro` team that holds the dubious distinction of having both the worst attack and worst defense in the league. Without their surprising victory in Rome, the Granata would find themselves at the bottom of the table. Days of intense deliberation are expected at Filadelfia. This coming Saturday afternoon, in the match at Rome`s Stadio Olimpico against a Lazio side re-energized by their win against Genoa, Torino and their coach will be playing for a great deal before the league break.
