Match Shirt • Club • Parma • 1996 • Puma • Home • #10 • Gianfranco Zola • Match Worn

Parma home shirt, 1996/97, match-worn by Gianfranco Zola (No. 10). White Puma long sleeve with blue/yellow striping; Parmalat sponsor on the front and ZOLA 10 integrated in the fabric on the back.

Parma’s runner-up finish was built on a young, elite defence and brisk forward play, qualifying the club for the Champions League for the first time. The side shifted shape fluently—4-4-2 into 4-3-1-2—depending on the opponent, with the trequartista line used to unlock deep blocks.

Starting the season in Emilia, Zola operated between the lines—drop, turn, and release—before a November move to England. His Parma start still bore the hallmarks of his craft: disguise on set pieces, crisp one-touch combinations, and the capacity to decide tight games.
