Zebre Parma enter the 2026-27 United Rugby Championship season aiming to lift themselves from the bottom of the table. Under head coach Massimo Brunello, the Italian franchise won only twice last season after losing Danilo Fischetti, Andrea Zambonin, and Geronimo Prisciantelli, ultimately conceding 85 tries while scoring just 43.
To strengthen the squad, Zebre added four players from Padova alongside experienced back Tommaso Allan. Key players for the upcoming campaign include 24-year-old full-back Lorenzo Pani, back-row forward Bautista Stavile, and number eight David Odiase. In the coaching department, Giampiero De Carli steps in as the new scrum and forwards coach.
