Romanian coach Cristian Chivu has been the manager of AC Parma for a few weeks now in the Italian football league, and this weekend, the Crusaders drew 1-1 with Monza.
The equalizing goal came from Ange Bonny, brought on by Chivu in the 71st minute, very inspired this time as well. However, Chivu is already facing the first criticisms since arriving at Parma, aiming to save the team from relegation.
After his fourth match on the bench, Parma Today rated the Romanian with a 6, reproaching him for giving away the first half to the home team in a match where victory was mandatory: "He urged his men to show attitude, sacrifice, and commitment. Many succeeded, but it's not clear why - for the second time - he let his opponents take the lead in the first half. A team that needs to be saved cannot afford this. Chivu cannot be satisfied: to move away from the relegation zone, points must be collected everywhere, especially on the direct competitors' grounds," commented the local newspaper.
Chivu started Dennis Man again at Parma, but the former player from FCSB disappointed once more and was rated 5 by the same Italian press.
Cristi Chivu has a victory, 2 draws, and a loss since taking over at Parma. All in Serie A.
