Italy: new base for Julien Fournier

Unemployed since his departure from Nice last July, Julien Fournier will continue his career as a manager on the other side of the Alps.

The 48-year-old was named director of football for Parma, an Italian second division club, on Monday. His commitment takes effect immediately, for a contract duration that has not been specified. “I am proud and thank President Kyle Krause for choosing me to join this great European club and take on this challenge. I always needed passion and competition to do my job and that’s why I came to Parma.”
