PARMA (ITALPRESS) – Fabio Pecchia is no longer the coach of Parma. After rumors circulated in the early afternoon, the club’s official note arrived in the evening. Yesterday’s defeat at the Tardini against Roma therefore costs the 51-year-old coach his exoneration, thus ending his adventure on the ducal bench after two and a half years. Arrived in the summer of 2022, after being eliminated in the play-off semifinals of Serie B in his first year, Pecchia had managed to bring Parma back to A by winning direct promotion, complete with winning the championship. This season, after a good start, the Gialloblù have started losing points. In particular, only one draw and five defeats have come in the last six matches, with the team slipping to third last place, although only one length away from the salvation zone. “After 110 games in the Gialloblù, however, it is only right to highlight the goals achieved, culminating with the historic victory of the 2023/24 Serie B championship – the club recalls – More than two years in which coach Fabio Pecchia and his staff have left an indelible mark in the history of the Gialloblù, having achieved sporting goals accompanied by human and professional values. Parma Calcio wishes the best professional fortunes to Fabio and his staff for the continuation of their careers,” the dismissal from the club. For his succession, the hot name is that of Cristian Chivu.- photo Ipa Agency -(ITALPRESS).
