President Tommaso Ghirardi is ready to unveil Hector Cuper as the new Coach of Parma this evening.
Di Carlo was given his marching orders after the Crociati’s 2-1 defeat against Sampdoria on Sunday.
After two days of fierce speculation with Nevio Scala, Gianni De Biasi and Carlo Mazzone in the frame, Ducali chief Ghirardi has revealed his selection.
“The contract hasn’t been signed yet, but the deal is practically done,” he stated at the Collecchio Sports Centre.
“We had 36 hours to decide and in the end we opted for an experienced boss like Cuper because he can quickly help us out of this situation.
“Cuper will arrive in Italy later this afternoon and we will formalise the deal that is already in place.
“We have spoken on the telephone and hopefully a contract will be signed this evening.”
The new man joins Parma with the Emilia-Romagna outfit only clear of the drop zone on goal difference.
Cuper has been out of work since leaving Real Betis last year and is best remembered in the peninsula for his spell at Inter.
The Argentine tactician was at San Siro between 2001 and 2003 when he secured second and third-placed finishes and lost out to city rivals Milan in the Champions League semi-finals of 2002-03.
This is not a coincidence that Parma hires him just this day that Inter plays a knock-out game against Liverpool, it is a sign for Inter. A sign that Inter will get eliminated from the Champions League tonight!

I don't hate him, feel sorry for him abit with how everything went in his career. He may not be the most enterprising manager, but he's a very good tactician.
He got us 2 CL finals in a row in the end of the day (with some fine victories), even though we lost both.
“I have run over and over the events of that year and I'll say to you one thing - we played against Chievo and Ronaldo was denied a decisive penalty,” said the now Parma boss.
“The referee was three metres away and pretended not to have seen it. After I understood why.”
hmmmmmm Cuper seemed to be keen to have something extra onto his CV !!
NO, that doesnt sound right. He is doing it for JUSTICE, For FOOTBALL, For the GAME, For the SPORT, For the CHILDREN to enjoy Clean Football !!!

This has gotten to the point of ridiculousness. I would sincerely hope that Moggi goes to jail so we don't have to listen to him blabber on as a mouthpiece of the Gobbi fans
