Boardroom

Parma put Interim Coach on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Market

Daniel Mikołajewski asks to leave Parma

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

Ollie Watkins wants more than Parma are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad

Agustín Giménez signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Agustín Giménez commits to Parma for another 4 years.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Kenneth Taylor

Parma asked and AC Milan said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

Parma count the cost of losing Silvio Marini

25 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

Tempers go at Parma

Ezequiel Silveira was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Gabriel Morisoli falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout

Abdoulaye Ndiaye gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Abdoulaye Ndiaye is on it.

Squad

16 saves: Filippo Rinaldi was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 16 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

The terraces

The mood at Parma has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Boardroom

Parma give the job to Interim Coach

The club looked outside for a month, found nothing it preferred, and handed the job to the man who had been doing it anyway. He knows the building; now he has to prove he knows the rest.

Market

Oliver Sørensen has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Parma they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Match

No end in sight to Parma's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Parma has to find a result from somewhere.

Match

No clean sheets in sight for Parma

5 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

Squad

A row about effort at Parma

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jacob Ondrejka was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match

Fabio Miretti’s goal not enough for Parma

Fabio Miretti scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to AS Roma, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The dugout

No hiding place for Rachid Kouda

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Rachid Kouda, and the manager let it.
