Seasoned campaigners
Tedesco, the 35-year-old former AC Perugia and Genoa 1893 schemer, appeared in 31 games and scored four goals this season, including one strike in the UEFA Cup. Palermo are also set to propose fresh terms to another seasoned campaigner - 36-year-old captain Eugenio Corini. The Sicilian team have qualified for the UEFA Cup for the third time after finishing sixth with a club-record 58 points. Coach Francesco Guidolin said: "We have had a good season, winning seven away matches and finishing sixth. It's not easy to do that in Italy."
