Quick Summary

Parma fired coach Carlos Cuesta after winning just one of their first five Serie A matches, bringing the club’s points total to four.

At 31, Cuesta had been the youngest coach in Serie A; his dismissal marks Parma's search for a new leader ahead of their upcoming match against Serie A champion Inter Milan on October 10th.
