Today in Trento President Kyle Krause, spoke to the media spoke to the media for the first time since his arrival yesterday.
"For this season we have kept many players from last year, there have been 5 new additions and we have already noticed a greater interaction between them, they look more like a team. I saw them both at the training camp and in the hotel. Last season taught us two lessons: avoid relegation and put together a team that can function as a team in the shortest possible time. I think I can say that, also on behalf of Fabio, he did not have great surprises, he noticed the presence of different talents within the team and I think he can be happy with the material he has available. And I am at the complete disposal of our coach to know where there are needs and once he has expressed his wishes, it will be the scouting part that will have to recover what will be needed. Seeing his game, we need players of depth, of outsiders. We do not have a lack of talent, but of more specific roles." "The Corporate Managing Director? And the Managing Director Sport? It was an honor and a pleasure to have been able to officially announce the engagement attributed to Luca, who is a man of great experience and with a very significant career behind him. He is a person I know and I have already had the opportunity to meet him, talking to him several times and I am very happy, but also very surprised, for the very talented figures who have proposed themselves to fill the position of Managing Director Sport, figures at European level but as I have already had the opportunity to say in the last two years, our idea of this role is not in line with the Italian consideration of this role. He must not scout or supervise the Men's First Team. The figure that we aim to identify is that of a person who not only has experience in the world of football, but also to give a direction to what I call 'Parma mode' at 360 degrees. As I said a couple of conferences ago, we are not far from identifying this figure but the research continues, for us it is important to find the right person. Our team in the sports sector is working well and is able to accept this challenge. I return to the United States this week and have no press conference planned to make announcements of this kind. I'm a very competitive person, I like to win. The success that we can achieve with Parma Calcio in the men's sector will also depend a lot on what we do in the youth sector. And developing the youth sector takes years, takes time. We have to identify the methodology, the approach, to adopt this also in the First Team. And in order to contribute to the development of boys and girls, we will strengthen the performance and analytics sector by including new resources, new people. The primary goal is to return to Serie A, I am also willing to make short-term decisions to do this. I see in the future a younger team, but not only made up of young people. With guys taken all over Europe. I am a fan and a lover of Italian football, I am a supporter of the Italian national team, many in our squad will be Italians. In 5 years we will also have a new stadium and a new sports center with all the benefits that these structures will give to both men's and women's football. Serie B? I will seem incongruous, but I am pleased that it has strengthened. This allows us to raise the level of what we are doing. For me it would be much better against 19 amateur teams, but that's not what will happen. Our aim is to make the investments and efforts to bring the team back to where it deserves, in Serie A, which is what the fans want, like all of us. My promise for the season? I can't promise promotion, if that's what you were referring to. But I can promise to make every effort, all within our capabilities, to make promotion our goal. If we look at the last two seasons, we too have made mistakes and I don't think it makes much sense to look for the culprits. If you then ask me if this one that is being born is the strongest Parma of the last two seasons, surely it is. If we look at two seasons ago, we have added a new coach, a new sporting director and made a lot of decisions at the end of the transfer market. And in hindsight, we didn't have the type of team to stay in Serie A. As for last year, we had several players who wanted the Parma team. And if they didn't want to stay, Parma also didn't want to keep them. It is not an accusation, some of the players who left Parma, went to teams at European level also obtaining important results. Now we have a hard core of players who have been playing together for a long time, they know each other and you can immediately notice it on the pitch. Returning to the promises, we will do what is necessary to return Parma to a successful team in the long term. This will involve investments today for tomorrow."
