After a successful season in Serie B, Parma has clinched promotion back to Serie A with a draw against Bari thanks to Ange-Yoan Bonny’s crucial goal. The team, managed by Fabio Pecchia, displayed great determination throughout the season to secure their return to the top flight. Bonny, along with other key players like Adrián Bernabé, Adrián Benedyczak, and Dennis Man, played a significant role in Parma’s success.
Pecchia, who has a history of achieving promotions with other teams, has led Parma back to Serie A after a heartbreaking playoff elimination the previous season. The coach expressed his joy and satisfaction with the team’s performance, praising the players for their hard work and dedication. He also highlighted the moment as a special one, especially for those who have been with the club for a long time.
The promotion also marks a significant milestone for young players like Bonny and defender Alessandro Circati, who have been key to Parma’s success this season. Circati, in particular, has received praise from both his club coach and the Australian national team manager for his performances. The young players have also seen an increase in their market value, showcasing their potential to play at a higher level in the future.
With Parma’s return to Serie A, owner Kyle Krause will join a growing list of American owners in the league, including the likes of Stephen Pagliuca, RedBird Capital Partners, Rocco Commisso, 777 Partners, and Dan Friedkin. This influx of American ownership in Serie A reflects the growing interest and investment in Italian football from overseas. Krause and sporting director Mauro Pederzoli will now focus on strengthening the squad for the upcoming season.
As the team prepares for life back in Serie A, there will be opportunities for players to impress the coach and secure their place in the squad for the next season. The team’s remaining games in Serie B will be crucial in determining their final standing and potentially winning the league title. The fans can look forward to celebrating the team’s return to the top flight with an after-party in Parma, highlighting the excitement and anticipation surrounding the club’s resurgence.
