Friday, 03 September 2010Angelo signs on a free transfer from Lecce

Lecce right back Angelo Mariano de Almeida officially became a Parma player after his presentation press conference yesterday.

The 29 year old put pen to paper on a one year deal after his contract with Lecce expired over the summer.

Angelo enjoyed a prolific season for a defender scoring 7 goals during Lecces promotion campaign.

At his press conference Angelo spoke of his delight at finally making the jump to Serie A and that he admires current Parma coach Pasquale Marino for a tactical approach that is similar to that of his mentor at Lecce Zdenek Zeman.
