Colin Dagba Joins Carrarese Calcio After Leaving Belgium

Colin Dagba, once a notable full-back for Paris Saint-Germain, has surprised many by signing with Italian Serie B team Carrarese Calcio. After leaving Belgian club Beerschot on July 1 as a free agent, the 27-year-old defender agreed to a contract running through June 2028 with the Apuan club, including an option for automatic renewal based on performance.

A New Chapter in Italy’s Second Division

The transfer marks a significant shift for Dagba, who is aiming to revive his career in Italy after his stint in Belgium. Carrarese welcomed the former France Under-21 international, highlighting his adaptability and technical skill. The club's official statement praised his attacking pace and ability but emphasized his defensive awareness and marking consistency as key strengths.

Career Highlights and Experience

During his time at PSG, Dagba made 77 appearances across all competitions, including seven in the Champions League. He earned three Ligue 1 titles, two Coupe de France trophies, and two Trophee des Champions victories. Loan spells at Strasbourg and Auxerre followed before his departure from Paris, bringing a wealth of high-level experience to his new team.

Current Team Standing and Upcoming Match

Carrarese currently occupy 14th place in the Serie B standings, having collected just one point from their first two games this season. Dagba might make his debut on September 5 when Carrarese face Empoli at home in the third round of fixtures.
