Gilardino Arrives in Parma, Signing Tomorrow: The Post-Cuesta Era Begins
Alberto Gilardino is in Parma. The 1982-born coach, a 2006 World Cup winner as a player, returns to Emilia to complete a cycle, following significant years as a player between 2002 and 2005. He is the man to succeed Carlos Cuesta. After resolving his contract with Pisa, a club he was tied to until June 2027, the former Genoa manager is set to commit to the Gialloblù club's technical project.
"See you soon, very happy. See you soon for the press conference," said Alberto Gilardino upon his arrival in the city. The Biella native is close to signing a contract until the end of the season with Parma. The agreement is set for June 30, 2027, with a renewal option solely exercisable by the club. This means no automatic renewal based on achieving specific objectives. He will replace Carlos Cuesta, who parted ways with Parma amicably following disagreements regarding the club's project.
