After Parma went bankrupt, almost all the first-team players chose to leave.

And almost all the coaching team members also chose to leave, including the first-team coach Donadoni and the youth team coach Crespo.

For a time, only a few old officials were left in the huge club looking at each other.

They were reluctant to leave the Parma club, but they were powerless to save it all.

At this time, Alessandro Lucarelli stood up.

He said to the old officials who stayed in the club: "I will not abandon the team, I will give my everything to the team!"

With the help of Mayor Pisaroti, he went to meet many entrepreneurs in the city.

If he wants to make Parma live again, he must seek the help of these people.

But obviously, the progress was not smooth at the beginning.

You know, running a club is not as simple as talking. Although it doesn't cost much money to take over Parma now, the subsequent operation will cost a lot of money.

They didn't have the courage to do it.

This made Alessandro very distressed.

After Matteo knew about this, he immediately raised an objection: "Dad, I think you can't just be a leader in this matter. What's more important is that you have to pay for shares, or even be the actual controller of the new Parma. Only in this way can you get the trust of most people."

Alessandro was very hesitant about this: "Mateo, I understand what you said. But we don't have that much money. Running a club is much more difficult than you think."

Matteo said: "From an investment perspective, Parma's valuation is undoubtedly the lowest now. As long as we can help Parma get promoted back to Serie B, its valuation will skyrocket, and we won't worry about the failure of this investment. I think with Parma's foundation, it shouldn't be a problem to get back to Serie B. If we can't continue at that time, we can just find a good seller to sell it."

Alessandro looked at his son carefully. He didn't believe that these words came from a boy who was less than fourteen years old.

He couldn't help but say: "Mateo, why do I feel that you are more suitable to be the club owner than me?"

Mateo smiled: "Dad, I'm not even fourteen! Wait until I'm an adult and then you can give me the position of the boss!"

Alessandro couldn't help but knock him on the forehead: "You're dreaming!"

Claire on the side was somewhat interested in what Matteo said: "Alessandro, I think what Matteo said makes sense. We can take the opportunity to take control of Parma, and then you work hard to lead the team to Serie A, and we will make a lot of money."

Looking at his wife with shining eyes, Alessandro couldn't help but sigh. His wife is good in every way, but she is not very good at financial management.

So he decided to tell her with a more intuitive number: "After our calculations, if we want to gain control of Parma, we have to spend at least 2 million euros. This is not a small amount for us."

Claire blinked: "Our family now has 5 million euros available, of which 1 million is in the stock account, and the remaining 4 million is available. This means that half of the funds will be used..."

Alessandro thought that this number would scare her, but unexpectedly she changed the subject: "Sure! This way there will be 2 million left."

Diego, the younger son who always didn't talk much, also supported his mother: "Yes, yes, there are still 2 million."

Alessandro: "..."

With the support of his wife and son, Alessandro finally made up his mind.

The next day, he called Mayor Pisaroti and explained his determination to become the controlling shareholder of the club.

Pisaroti was overjoyed and immediately asked him to meet with the entrepreneurs.

With Alessandro's endorsement, the entrepreneurs finally made up their minds to invest in the new Parma.

This time, entrepreneurs led by entrepreneur Guido Barilla formed an alliance. They will invest 1 million euros to acquire 30% of Parma's shares.

Alessandro invested 2 million euros and held 60% of the shares.

The remaining 10% will be controlled by the Parma Football Investment Association composed of fans.

After passing the resolution, Alessandro notified Demetrio Albertini, vice president of the Italian Football Association.

This AC Milan star helped Parma a lot when Parma went bankrupt and liquidated. He used his connections to help Parma reduce many debts.

Now that they are going to set up the new Parma Club, they naturally have to notify him.

Albertini heard that theyTo set up a new club, he immediately became excited: "Okay, I will definitely help you to the best of my ability!"

He promised that he would handle the registration business with the Italian Football Association, and he would also try his best to mediate the issue of the remaining debt.

And through his efforts, the new Parma Club was soon successfully registered with the Italian Football Association.

However, due to some policy reasons, they could not use the original name for the time being, and could only be named Parma 1913.

And a considerable part of the funds they raised had to be repaid first, and then the remaining funds could be invested in the operation of the club.

It is conceivable how much money they can have left.

In the end, after paying off the debt, the money finally left 500,000 euros, which will be the budget for Parma to fight in the Italian League in the new season.

Of course, they still have a debt of tens of millions of euros, which will be spread over the next ten years in the form of installments.

In terms of finance, they also have good news.

Through their connections, they also found a clothing brand to name their jerseys and offered a two-year sponsorship contract of one million euros.

Although the contract amount is not high, it is enough to solve their urgent needs.

On the other hand, Mayor Pisarotti also decided through the municipal meeting to rent the Ennio Tadini Stadium to them for continued use for two years at a very low price.

On the other hand, after finalizing the establishment of the club, they hired the club's legendary head coach Scala to be the club chairman.

Scala was the founder of Parma's rise 20 years ago. His willingness to come back at this time is enough to prove his love for Parma.

The head coach was also quickly decided, that is, the club's legendary central defender, former Italian international, Luigi Apolloni, who has played for the team for twelve years!

Although he is not a top coach, for Parma today, this is the most suitable head coach.

On the youth team side, they also found Stefano Morone, a veteran of the team who just retired this summer, to serve as the head coach. I believe he can also make corresponding contributions to Parma.

This is a team that has been reborn with the support of the famous players. As a banner, they will surely lead the new Parma to move forward!
