| Lucarelli towards Parma exit |

Ex-Azzurri hitman Cristiano Lucarelli looks likely to quit Parma at the first available opportunity after storming out of training this afternoon.
The ex-Livorno hero moved to Parma after an unsuccessful spell at Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk.
Lucarelli was unable to help the Ducali avoid the drop last season, but he pledged to guide the side back from Serie B.
However, the No 99 has fallen out with his Coach Francesco Guidolin and fellow players and has declared his intention to leave, handing back the captain's armband.
Today it was revealed that Lucarelli has been left out of Parma's squad to face Ancona tomorrow evening because he left the training ground during a tactical drill.
The players were practising free-kicks from the edge of the area when Lucarelli walked off and left the Collecchio Sports Centre.
President Tommaso Ghirardi is expected to meet with Lucarelli to discuss his future but has stressed his “complete faith” in Coach Guidolin.
Siena and Torino had hoped to lure the fiery marksman during the January transfer window, but no deal came to fruition.
