Parma president, Federico Cherubini, expressed full confidence in coach AlbertoGilardino, despite the recent three consecutive defeats. In his speech, Cherubini reiterated that a month of work is not enough to evaluate a coach and underlined the need to give Gilardino time to implement his ideas and methodologies.
Cherubini also addressed the criticism aimed at the club after the defeat against Torino, defending the president and asking not to place the blame on them. He expressed disappointment at the perceived distance between the club and the fans, stating that the club is "totally available to the community" and that communication with fans is a shared responsibility. He mentioned the suspension of a discussion table with the fans, but declared that he was ready to restart the dialogue, underlining that the decisions are up to the club.
As for the team, Cherubini acknowledged the initial difficulties of Gilardino, who had to face challenging matches with a squad still in the construction phase. However, he expressed confidence in the skills of the working group and indicated that the club is ready to invest time and resources to achieve its objectives.
The president concluded by stating that Parma's future depends on the ability to build a new direction, and that the club is ready to embark on this path with the support of all its stakeholders. Next week will see the team face the next SerieA challenges, with the aim of reversing the series of negative results and consolidating the fans' confidence.
