Ours is the most unpredictable and entertaining championship in Europe, the Opta data says so and for me it is a source of great satisfaction also for our fans, who are increasingly growing in number.”
How do you judge Parma’s season, promoted to Serie A two days early.

It started with an important project, at the top there is a president of great caliber, a determined person, who loves Italy, who loves Parma and of Italian origins. He is doing a lot, he is establishing an extraordinary company model, he has a bright future. We have an ongoing relationship with them and Krause is truly a great man.”
