Before that, he spent two years in Italy coaching Juventus' youth teams. Widely regarded as one of the best young coaches, Cuesta has been instrumental in Arsenal's progress under Arteta. Last season, Cuesta was heavily linked with Norwich and attracted interest from several Championship clubs and beyond. Now, he joins a struggling Parma side in need of a fresh start. Parma returned to Serie A and were languishing in 18th place when Chivu was appointed in February, following seven years coaching Inter Milan's youth teams. Chivu departed after the season to take over at Inter, where he also played for six seasons. Cuesta was reportedly preferred over Italian candidates Daniele De Rossi, Alberto Gilardino, and Paolo Vanoli. Although the Serie A season does not start until 23 August, Cuesta is the ninth new coach appointed this summer. Two of the 20 clubs still have unfilled vacancies.

Youngest soccer boss in 86 years takes reins in Italy
Spaniard Carlos Cuesta has become the youngest coach in Serie A in nearly a century after being hired by Parma. It is the 29-year-old Cuesta's first role as a head coach after spending the past five years as an assistant at English Premier League club Arsenal. Parma announced on Thursday that Cuesta had signed a two-year contract with the option of a third year. Cuesta has experience in Italy, having been an assistant coach with the under-17 team at Juventus for two years. He also worked with Atletico Madrid's youth teams prior to that. Cuesta, a Mallorca native, is the second-youngest coach ever to work in the Italian top flight. In 1939, Elio Loschi was 29 years 9 months 20 days old when he took charge of his first match as player-coach at Triestina. Cuesta will be 30 years 26 days old when he takes to the dugout for Parma's first match, coincidentally also against Juventus. Italian media reported that Cuesta took his first steps into coaching when he was studying in Madrid. He messaged members of the technical staff of both the city's teams on social media until the then-coach of Atletico's under-12 team responded. Parma's previous coach Cristian Chivu left the club last week, after steering the team to Serie A safety, taking over instead at Inter Milan.
