U.S. Città di Palermo played the 2010–11 season in Serie A, the seventh consecutive season for the Sicilian club in the Italian top flight since their return to the league in 2004.
Long-time Palermo players Fábio Simplício and Mark Bresciano left the rosanero by 30 June after failing to agree for a contract extension with the club. On 29 May 2010 Legea was announced as Palermo's new teamwear sponsor, taking over such duties from Lotto Sport Italia. The club also announced on June 2010 a one-year agreement extension with main sponsor Eurobet.
The first high profile move from Palermo was completed on 11 June, when the club announced the signing of Chilean prolific striker Mauricio Pinilla from Grosseto. The move was followed by the signing of experienced Siena forward Massimo Maccarone days later.
On 6 July it was confirmed the appointment of 38-year-old former player Giovanni Tedesco as the club's new team manager. On 7 July Palermo also announced the signing of Polish international defender Kamil Glik.
On 8 July, Palermo announced to have sold Danish international centre-back Simon Kjær to 1. Bundesliga club VfL Wolfsburg. Four days later, the club confirmed to have signed Italy U-20 international Matteo Darmian from AC Milan in a co-ownership bid.
