Parma sack Di Carlo Monday 10 March, 2008
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Relegation-threatened Parma have announced that they have parted company with Coach Domenico Di Carlo.
The Gialloblu lost 2-1 to Sampdoria on Sunday at the Ennio Tardini and are only clear of the drop zone on goal difference.
The embattled club issued a statement on their website saying: “Parma Football Club would like to communicate that Coach Domenico Di Carlo has been relieved of his duties.
“We would like to thank him for his work which he has carried out with competence and seriousness.”
Di Carlo has collected 25 points from 27 matches this season and the Crociati have won just once in their last 10 fixtures.
A hatful of candidates have been linked with the post, including club legend Nevio Scala, who presided over Parma's most successful spell, and Alberto Zaccheroni.
Scala was seen in the stands at yesterday's game against Sampdoria and, according to the Italian Press, would be a popular choice.
The tactician famously led the Crociati to Coppa Italia and UEFA Cup titles among others in a seven-year reign at the club.
Parma have been in some financial difficulty since 2003-04 after former President Calisto Tanzi and Parmalat went bankrupt in controversial circumstances.
