The 2012-13 campaign delivered a season of solid consolidation for Parma as Il Crociati finished a respectable 10th in Serie A under manager Roberto Donadoni. Leading the charge was the Brazilian-Italian veteran Amauri, whose 10 crucial goals anchored the attack, notably including a spectacular overhead kick against Pescara that became a club highlight. The team's top-half finish, secured by a strong run of results late in the season, proved their renewed stability in the top flight and cemented their status as a competitive force in Italian football.
