Parma president Federico Cherubini announced that coach AlbertoGilardino will not be replaced, even though the club suffered a tough 0-3 defeat against Inter at home. In the press conference, Cherubini reiterated the progress made by the new management in the first three matches of the season, in which Parma faced the two league leaders, Inter and Lazio, and Torino. The defeat against Inter, with the presence of spectator Krause, remained a harsh memory for fans and managers.
Despite the loss, the management does not expect changes to the bench before the next match against Udinese, scheduled for Wednesday. The following calendar includes a match against Atalanta four days later and the derby with Bologna the following week. Cherubini underlined that, if these opportunities did not materialize, Parma would risk finishing last in the table, with two weeks of rest ahead. In this case, the team should make a "shake-up" to gain confidence and be able to face January still on the bench.
The president recalled that Parma has always been a protagonist in the January transfer markets, with the arrival of key players such as Strefezza and Ondrejka the previous year. In a desperate ranking situation, there is no reason to think that next month will be any different. The strategy involves adding fresh forces to the team, but this will require significant investment to gain the necessary trust.
At the moment, Gilardino must focus on working with the existing squad, trying to make the most of the resources available. The club aims to regain their form and avoid falling into the relegation zone. With the next matches against Udinese, Atalanta and Bologna, Parma will have the opportunity to demonstrate that they are still able to compete and recover the points necessary to avoid a bottom position. Attention is therefore focused on the next round, where the team will have to demonstrate that it has learned from its mistakes and is ready to write a new chapter in its season.
