Parma Relegated to Serie B After 1-0 Defeat to Torino

Historic Club Faces Drop to Second Tier for First Time Since 2015

Parma, the Italian Serie A club that won the UEFA Cup in 1995 and 1999, has been relegated to Serie B after a 1-0 defeat to Torino on Monday.

The loss, coupled with victories by relegation rivals Salernitana and Genoa, condemned Parma to the drop to the second tier for the first time since their bankruptcy and subsequent rebirth in 2015.

Parma's Famous Squad in 1999-00:

• Gianluigi Buffon (GK)
• Luigi Sartor (DF)
• Fabio Cannavaro (DF)
• Lilian Thuram (DF)
• Nesta (DF)
• Dino Baggio (MF)
• Sabri Lamouchi (MF)
• Hernán Crespo (FW)
• Enrico Chiesa (FW)
• Juan Sebastian Veron (MF)

The relegation is a bitter blow for Parma, who have been a mainstay of Serie A for most of the past three decades. The club has been in financial difficulty in recent years, and their relegation could have serious consequences for their future.

Key Stats:

• Parma finished 20th in Serie A with just 20 points from 38 games.
• They scored 38 goals and conceded 73, the worst defensive record in the league.
• Parma have not won a major trophy since the Coppa Italia in 2002.

Parma's relegation is a reminder of the financial challenges facing many Italian clubs. The club's financial problems are well-documented, and their relegation could serve as a warning to other clubs who are struggling to make ends meet.
