The Italian club Parma has announced the appointment of Spanish Carlos Cuesta as the new head coach of the first team, succeeding coach Kivo who recently left to take over at Inter Milan.

Cuesta is only 29 years old, making him the youngest coach in the history of Serie A, which some consider a significant risk for Parma's management due to his lack of any previous experience as a head coach.

Cuesta began his coaching career as an assistant coach for Juventus' under-17 team, before joining the coaching staff of English club Arsenal, where he worked for 5 seasons as an assistant to coach Mikel Arteta.

Despite some analysts praising his modern ideas and tactical background, his appointment as the head coach of a club competing in a strong league like Serie A puts him under significant pressure, especially since Parma is seeking stability and to remain among the elite after recently returning to the top division.
