Fontana set for switch
Wednesday 24 December, 2008

Veteran Palermo ‘keeper Alberto Fontana will move to Serie B giants Parma, Rosanero chief Maurizio Zamparini claims.

The custodian, born in January 1967, is unhappy with life on the bench after the summer arrival of Italy No 2 Marco Amelia from Livorno.

Although previously associated with a switch to Roma, it now appears that the Ducali are ready to swoop for the ageing star.

“I think it will happen,” noted the Sicilian President. “He can’t be handed a first team shirt here with us.

“It is his desire to play regular football therefore he will join a club where he will be assured of a place in the side.”

Parma, joint top at the moment, are looking like a real promotion contender following the arrival of new boss Francesco Guidolin.

The latter knows all about Fontana after bossing him for a period at the Stadio Renzo Barbera in the past.
