'After five beautiful years it's hard to put this into words, but I can only express how grateful I am for having lived my day-to-day with such special people and feel what it means to represent this football club, with its incredible history and values,' Cuesta said. 'The only thing I've ever tried to do was give everything I had inside of me every single day. I was inspired by the culture that was created, by the hunger of every person of the organisation and by the unity that we had in any situation that we had to face. 'It has been a privilege to have had the chance to work with the players, staff, directors and all the employees of the club and at the same time, to receive an extra push from our amazing fans in every match.'

That's the only thing I can say,' he added.

'But more than that, thank you for being an incredible coach, an incredible leader, and an even better human being. 'It has been a true privilege to learn from you, to feel your support in any circumstance and to share the ups and downs of the journey always seeing the positive side of it. You've taught me a lot, and I will carry it always with me. 'From the bottom of my heart, thank you.'

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.

Report – Parma Striker One Step From Joining Inter Milan In €25M Deal
Parma striker Ange-Yoan Bonny is reportedly one step away from joining Inter Milan in a deal worth €25 million. This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport italia, via FCInterNews. They report that the negotiations between the clubs are just down to the question of add-ons now. Advertisement Inter Milan are now rapidly approaching the closing stage of negotiations with Parma for striker Ange-Yoan Bonny. The Nerazzurri's interest in the 21-year-old is certainly no secret. They had already been targeting him before appointing Cristian Chivu as coach – and the Romanian has further pushed them towards a deal. Inter see Bonny as an ideal player to follow in the footsteps of Marcus Thuram. Parma Striker Ange-Yoan Bonny One Step From Joining Inter Milan PARMA, ITALY – DECEMBER 15: Ange-Yoan Bonny of Parma Calcio reacts during the Serie A match between Parma and Verona at Stadio Ennio Tardini on December 15, 2024 in Parma, Italy. (Photo by) According to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, Inter no longer have any worries that another club could swoop in to try and hijack their deal for Bonny. Advertisement Napoli had also shown an interest in signing the Frenchman. However, they have all but withdrawn from the race. The Nerazzurri have more or less agreed a deal worth €25 million for Bonny. The only thing that is in any question now is the question of add-ons. Parma want a straight €25 million fee, reports Sky Sport Italia. On the other hand, Inter want a deal at that valuation, but including add-ons.
