Carrarese Signs Colin Dagba to Boost Serie B Campaign

Carrarese have turned to top-level experience to jolt their season into life, sealing the free transfer of right-back Colin Dagba after his departure from Belgian side Beerschot on July 1.

The 27-year-old has signed a long-term deal running to June 30, 2028, with an automatic extension clause tied to specific performance targets. It is a significant commitment from a Serie B club, and a clear signal that this is more than a short-term patch. For Dagba, once a rising prospect with France Under-21s, it is a reset button and a fresh route back into a major European league.

The Tuscan club announced the move with obvious enthusiasm, underlining both his profile and the flexibility he brings. In their statement, Carrarese highlighted the former Paris Saint-Germain defender’s attacking edge, pointing to his pace, his ability to drive forward, and his comfort in the final third.

They also stressed that his game is not just about going on the overlap. The club described a full-back who stays switched on without the ball, strong in one-on-one situations and reliable in his defensive duties. For a side that has struggled to find balance in the early weeks of the campaign, that blend matters.

Dagba arrives with a résumé few in Serie B can match. He made 77 senior appearances for PSG across all competitions, including seven outings in the Champions League. During his time at the Parc des Princes he collected three Ligue 1 titles, two Coupe de France trophies and two Trophee des Champions wins, before heading out on loan to Strasbourg and Auxerre in search of regular minutes.

Now those experiences land in the dressing room of Gabriele Cioffi, who suddenly has a defender accustomed to elite environments to anchor his right flank. Carrarese sit 14th in the table with just one point from their first two league games, a sluggish opening that has left little margin for another misstep.

Looking Ahead

That is why all eyes will turn to September 5, when Empoli visit on matchday three. Dagba is in line for an immediate debut, and the timing could hardly be sharper. A home fixture, a shaky start, and a new signing with Champions League nights behind him: Carrarese need a statement performance, and they may now have the player to deliver it.
