Young Talent Takes the Helm: Carlos Cuesta Leads Parma

Parma has announced the appointment of Carlos Cuesta as their new manager, marking the 29-year-old Spaniard's first senior managerial position. Cuesta succeeds Cristian Chivu, who departed earlier to join Inter Milan. He brings a wealth of experience from his role as Mikel Arteta's assistant at Arsenal.

Cuesta's coaching journey began at a young age, moving from Atletico Madrid's youth teams to Serie A, where he honed his skills in player development. His travels across Europe to study coaching techniques highlight his commitment and passion for the game.

During his tenure at Arsenal, Cuesta contributed significantly to the team's growth into strong title contenders. His proficiency in six languages, including Italian, and his individual focus on player development made a lasting impression on key figures like Parma's CEO Federico Cherubini.
