Parma, 16 August 2024 - Parma Calcio can announce that Hernani Azevedo Junior has renewed his contract until 30.06.2026. 

Coming back to Parma last summer, the Brazilian midfielder is one of those at the heart of the Gialloblu dressing room: with his charisma and experience, he helped the squad to play a brilliant campaign and win Serie B, securing the historic promotion to Serie A. This will be his fourth season with the Gialloblu, he has totalled over 100 appearances and 11 goals.

Hernani Jr.: “Firstly, I want to thank God for what has happened and my renewal with Parma, I want to thank my family, the management and the technical staff. Of course, I want to make a special mention of President Kyle J. Krause for the faith he has in me. Given that I am ambitious and want to grow, I would say that I am very happy to be part of this dream and to be part of a Club that has shown year after year a desire to be in the best place for football, something we managed with promotion last year. I experienced one of the low points in Club history with Parma, but today I have the chance to be back and in Serie A, I think that this is truly magnificent. Carrying on with this shirt is amazing: to honour this city and the people of Parma, I want to thank them all for the strength they give me every day. Forza Parma!”.
