Colin Dagba's Unexpected Move to Serie B Side Carrarese After Leaving Belgium
After leaving Belgian club Beerschot, former Paris Saint-Germain defender Colin Dagba has taken a surprising step by signing with Italian Serie B team Carrarese Calcio. The 27-year-old, who previously enjoyed success in France’s top flight, has committed to a contract running through June 2028, with an automatic extension option based on performance.
New Challenge in Italy’s Second Division
Dagba’s transfer to Carrarese comes as a free agent move following his departure from Beerschot on July 1. This marks a fresh start for the former France Under-21 international, who aims to regain form and momentum competing in Italy’s second tier.
Carrarese Highlights Dagba’s Defensive Skills
The club issued a statement praising Dagba’s qualities: his attacking flair, speed, and technical ability stand out, but they also emphasize his defensive alertness and reliability, especially in marking opponents. Born in 1998, the right-back offers versatility across the pitch, contributing on both ends of play.
Experienced Defender with a Winning Background
During his time at PSG, Dagba played 77 matches in all competitions, including seven appearances in the UEFA Champions League. He collected three Ligue 1 titles, two Coupe de France trophies, and two Trophee des Champions wins before loan spells at Strasbourg and Auxerre. His addition brings valuable experience and depth to Gabriele Cioffi’s squad.
Upcoming Fixture and Team Standing
Carrarese currently ranks 14th in Serie B after earning only one point from their first two games. Dagba may debut in their next match on September 5, when they host Empoli. That home game represents a crucial chance for the team to find stability and secure their first league victory this season.
