Arsenal coach Carlos Cuesta set to leave club to become Parma head coach
Arsenal coach Carlos Cuesta is set to leave the club to become Parma's new head coach. The 29-year-old is expected to depart after five years at the north London club under Mikel Arteta. Cuesta had been in talks with the Serie A side for several weeks and is expected to travel to Italy on Wednesday. If the deal is completed, he will replace Cristian Chivu as Parma head coach after the 44-year-old succeeded Simone Inzaghi at Inter earlier this month. Cuesta gained experience as a youth coach at Atletico Madrid and Juventus before joining Arsenal's coaching staff in the summer of 2020. Former Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka told The Athletic in 2024: 'I am sure that one day he (Cuesta) will be a manager for a big, big, big club. 'I say this because he knows what he wants, he has clear ideas, and he has clear goals that he wants to achieve. I am certain that one day we will see him on the touchline as a manager.' Advertisement Parma finished 16th in Serie A last season, five points above the relegation zone. Analysis by James McNicholas Carlos Cuesta has always had aspirations to be a manager, but this has probably come sooner than Arsenal or Mikel Arteta expected. The 29-year-old, along with the rest of Arteta's backroom staff, signed a new contract until 2027 during the course of last season. Cuesta's departure will naturally have an impact on Arteta's preseason preparations. The core of the current coaching group — the likes of Albert Stuivenberg, Cuesta, Nico Jover, and Inaki Cana — have been together since 2021. Cuesta becomes the first of Arteta's assistants to leave his post voluntarily. Arteta must now consider whether to replace Cuesta with a new assistant coach. He will doubtless frame this as an opportunity for renewal and evolution. Cuesta, meanwhile, follows Arteta's lead in taking an early leap into top-level management.
