Parma names Alberto Gilardino head coach after Carlos Cuesta dismissal

Summary

Parma has appointed Alberto Gilardino as the new head coach following the dismissal of Carlos Cuesta. The club confirmed the change on September 29, with Gilardino signing a contract until the end of the 2026-27 season. Cuesta's exit came after a disappointing start to the Serie A season, where Parma sits 15th with one win, one draw, and three losses. The decision to part ways with Cuesta was reportedly due to a disagreement over the club's sporting vision rather than solely performance results. Gilardino's previous experience includes managing Pisa, Genoa, Siena, and Pro Vercelli.
