Panucci and Parma part ways

Christian Panucci has cancelled his contract with Parma FC for personal reasons. The former Italian international signed a one-year deal with the club after joining on a free transfer in the summer. The 36-year-old defender, who played for AC Milan, Real Madrid CF, FC Internazionale Milano, Chelsea FC, AS Monaco FC and AS Roma among other clubs, said wanted to thank "the club, the president, the coach, my team-mates and all the supporters" after ending his stint with the Ducali.
