Stefano Pioli has been unveiled as the new coach of Serie A side Parma FC following last week's departure of Mario Beretta.
Personal ambition
Pioli guided Modena FC to the Serie B promotion play-offs this season, and although their top-flight aspirations were ended by AC Mantova yesterday, the 40-year-old will reach his goal after signing a one-year contract at the Stadio Ennio Tardini. Pioli, a former Juventus defender, replaces Beretta who left to take the reins at AC Siena after guiding the Gialloblu to tenth in Serie A.
