Parma have announced the appointment of Alberto Gilardino as their new head coach, replacing Carlos Cuesta. The Italian club confirmed in an official statement that Gilardino signed an initial contract until the end of the 2026-27 season, with an option to extend for another year. At 44 years old, Gilardino has extensive managerial experience, having previously led Pisa, Genoa, Siena, and Pro Vercelli.
His new team will be supported by Gaetano Caridi, Francesco Valiani, Antonio Bovenzi, and Mirco Vecchi. Cuesta was dismissed from his position as head coach of Parma after a disagreement over the club's sporting vision, just five matches into the 2026-27 Serie A season. The move makes Parma the third Serie A club to change managers this season, following Fiorentina and Bologna.
