It's a good moment for Parma, let's hope that Chivu can bring good results. The choice of having such a varied and interesting staff could be a winning move, especially after Pecchia's dismissal that didn't work well.
And Chivu is a great choice as a coach, I hope he can bring new energy to Parma. Even though I don't have much experience in evaluating coaches, it seems to me that he has the right skills to do well.
