Recently promoted Italian Serie B side Parma have officially announced that its executives will sell 60% of the club’s shares to Chinese businessman Jiang Lizhang, giving him control of the club. Parma have also announced the appointment of former Argentina and Parma player Hernán Crespo as its new vice president.
Jiang Lizhang is the president of Chongqing Lifan Football Club in China. In 2016, he acquired 98.13% shares in the Spanish club Granada and has a five percent stake in the NBA team Minnesota Timberwolves.
