Parma Appoint Alberto Gilardino as New Head Coach After Carlos Cuesta Exit
Parma said the split followed talks over the club’s sporting project, with training to be handled by the technical staff while it searches for a new coach.
- On Tuesday, Parma appointed Alberto Gilardino as head coach, two days after parting ways with Carlos Cuesta following internal discussions about the club's poor start to the Serie A season.
- Internal discussions concluded that conditions to continue the working relationship and sporting project were not being met, as Parma won only one of their opening five Serie A matches.
- "It has been an intense year and a half," Cuesta wrote on Instagram, reflecting on his tenure guiding Parma to a 13th-place finish last season after his June 2025 appointment from Arsenal.
- Gilardino, 44, signed a contract through the season's end, marking the third coaching change in Serie A this year following dismissals at Fiorentina and Bologna.
- The new coach faces immediate pressure as Parma sits 15th in the standings with four points, traveling to face Serie A champion Inter Milan on October 10.
