Parma have appointed former Italy forward Alberto Gilardino as their new head coach.
The 44-year-old has signed a contract running until the end of the 2026/27 season, with an option to extend the agreement by a further two seasons. Parma confirmed the appointment on their official website.
Gilardino returns to a club he represented as a player between 2002 and 2005. He made 116 appearances for Parma and scored 56 goals before leaving to join Milan.
His appointment comes several days after Carlos Cuesta left his position as Parma manager.
Parma are currently 15th in the Serie A table.
