In 2014, Donadoni guided Parma to sixth in Serie A and a third consecutive top ten finish, but a return to Europe in the Europa League for the first time since 2007 was barred due to the late payment of income tax on salaries, not qualifying for a UEFA license, for which the club would also be docked points during the [[2014–15 Serie A]] season.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.espnfc.com/news/story/_/id/1836553/parma-europa-league-place-handed-torino?cc=5739 | date=29 May 2014 | title=Parma lose appeal for UEFA license ''[sic]''}}</ref><ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/parma-deducted-one-point-financial-issues | date=9 December 2014 | title=Parma deducted one point for financial issues | work=[[FourFourTwo]] | publisher=[[Haymarket Group]]}}</ref> Financial troubles precipitated a succession of ownership changes and the club's eventual bankruptcy in March 2015 with total liabilities of €218&nbsp;million, including €63m unpaid salaries.<ref name="bankrupt"/><ref name="Times Oct 15"/><ref name="3 straight promotions">{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/the-gentleman-ultra/2018/may/24/parma-serie-a-three-straight-promotions-italy|work=[[The Guardian]] | publisher=Guardian News and Media|location=London|first=Yousef |last=Teclab|date=24 May 2018|title='It can't be true': Parma return to Serie A after three straight promotions}}</ref> The club was allowed to finish the season but finished bottom of the league in 20th place.
