Three days after he was hired, Zdenek Zeman coached last-place Pescara to its first outright win of the season by a score of 5-0 - the first time the Abruzzo club has won with a five-goal margin in Serie A history. ''All I can do is thank the lads because we only had three training sessions together but they showed that if we dedicate ourselves and if we stay focused we can do well,'' Zeman said after the victory over Genoa on Sunday. For its only other ''victory'' this season, Pescara was awarded a 3-0 win over Sassuolo in August because Sassuolo used an ineligible player.
