- Christian Chivu is the new coach at Parma.
- The Romanian takes over from Fabio Pecchia at the club owned by Swiss player Simon Sohm.
- Parma are in the midst of a relegation battle after 25 match days.
Chivu worked for Inter Milan's youth team until last summer. The job at Parma is his first in professional football. During his playing days, the 75-time Romanian international defender played for Inter and AS Roma, among others, for eleven years.
Under the 51-year-old Pecchia, Parma managed to return to Serie A last season. The team has been without a win since the turn of the year and has been in a relegation spot since the beginning of February. Sohm was one of the undisputed regulars this season. The Swiss international usually played in central midfield.
