Parma has fired Franco Colomba and named former Italy coach Roberto Donadoni as its new manager, marking the 11th coaching change in the 20-team Serie A since August.
Parma announced the decision on its website late Monday, with Donadoni signing a contract through next season.
The move comes two days after a humiliating 5-0 loss to Inter Milan stretched Parma's winless streak to six matches.
Nearly at the season's midway point, Parma sits 15th, seven points clear of the relegation zone.

Donadoni coached Italy at the 2008 European Championship.
Colomba had taken over Parma for the final seven matches of last season, while Donadoni's last job was with Cagliari, where he was fired in August.
