Parma sack Fabio Pecchia after defeat to Roma
After the defeat against Roma, Parma has decided to fire Fabio Pecchia.
The home defeat against the Giallorossi effectively condemned the Emilian coach, who is paying for the team's poor performance.
After a good start to the season, the Gialloblu collected a long series of disappointing results that have put their permanence in Italy's top division at serious risk.
Parma is currently in 18th place with 20 points, right in the relegation zone.
The official dismissal will arrive in the next few hours, writes Sky Sport.

Report – Parma Star A More Realistic Target For Inter Milan Than Manchester United Flop
Report – Parma Star A More Realistic Target For Inter Milan Than Manchester United Flop Inter Milan are confident of signing two strikers this summer, with Ange-Yoan Bonny and Rasmus Hojlund topping the club's shortlist. Per Sky Sport via FCInter1908, the Parma starlet is a far more affordable acquisition than the Manchester United flop. Advertisement Despite only completing one season in Serie A, Ange-Yoan Bonny is among the division's most highly-rated prospects. His physicality, technique, decent finishing, and spatial awareness make him a perfect prototype of a modern-day striker. Inter Milan Tracking Ange-Yoan Bonny & Ramsus Hojlund as Concrete Attacking Targets MANCHESTER, ENGLAND – APRIL 16: Rasmus Hojlund of Manchester United reacts during a training session ahead of their UEFA Europa League 2024/25 quarter final second leg match against Olympique Lyonnais at Carrington Training Ground on April 16, 2025 in Manchester, England. (Photo by) Bonny won't come cheap, with Parma slapping a €25 million asking price on their in-demand ace. In addition to Inter, AC Milan and Juventus are also interested in the Frenchman. However, he is far closer to joining the Nerazzurri than the other two Serie A giants. On the other hand, Rasmus Hojlund would likely favor a return to Italy after an underwhelming episode at Old Trafford. Despite his poor form in the Premier League, he's still among Man Utd's most prized assets. Therefore, Inter would only sign the Dane on loan with an option to buy.

'Negative experience' - Juric breaks silence on 107-day Saints reign
IVAN Juric admitted his ill-fated reign as Saints boss was "a negative experience" but insisted it was "very positive" for his growth as a manager. New Atalanta boss Juric departed Saints in April following official confirmation of their relegation to the Championship, having lost 12 of his 14 Premier League games. Advertisement The Croatian's only league victory came at fellow relegated side Ipswich Town, and his south coast departure came six months after he was sacked by Roma. Juric has now replaced Gian Piero Gasperini at Atalanta, after his mentor joined Roma, and has opened up on his difficult season in Italy and England. Speaking in his first press conference, Juric said: "(It was) a negative year on a sporting level. Human and knowledge level, it was fantastic. "I think I feel much stronger than a year ago, because (at) Roma I saw great clubs, great players. I learned a lot. In Southampton, I appreciated a fabulous Premier League. Advertisement "People who are in the club, who know how to work. I saw really beautiful things. In the Premier League, I also remember the level of the players, (it's) very high. "I think two negative experiences on the one hand, and on the other, (it was) very positive for me and my growth." Juric lasted just 107 days in charge of Southampton and departed 24 hours after their 3-1 defeat to Spurs, which confirmed the club's relegation to the Championship. He has been replaced by Belgian-born English coach Will Still, who has signed a three-year deal and is targeting an instant return to the Premier League. Advertisement Juric has penned a two-year contract at Champions League-qualified Atalanta and is set to coach in UEFA's top club competition for the first time in his career. The Split-born manager did take charge of four Europa League fixtures during his two-month spell in charge of Roma, winning just once and losing twice. Fellow former Saints boss Russell Martin, whom Juric replaced, will also be competing in the 2025/26 Champions League after taking over at Rangers. The Ibrox club will enter the Champions League in the second round of qualifying, while Atalanta have qualified directly by finishing third in Serie A.
