ARSENAL manager Mikel Arteta has lost one of his closest associates following a record breaking transfer.Arteta’s assistant coach Carlos Cuesta is set to be named Parma manager at the young age of 29.Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has lost a close associate during the summer transfer windowArsenal assistant coach Carlos Cuesta is set to become Parma’s managerCuesta will become the youngest manager in Serie A this centuryCuesta – who joined the Arsenal backroom team in 2020 – is set to make history in Serie A after receiving the biggest opportunity of his career.The Spanish tactician will officially become the youngest head coach in the Italian top flight this century.The Mallorca-born tactician is expected to take over at Parma at the age of 29 years, 10 months and 20 days.That puts Cuesta only behind Elio Loschi, who took over Triestina in 1939 at the age of 29 years, nine months and 20 days old.That effectively makes the Spaniard the youngest non-Italian manager in Serie A history.According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, talks between Arsenal and Parm are at the “final stages”.However, there is a lot of confidence the Italian outfit will get the green light from the Premier League giants.This poses as a major blow for Arteta as he will be losing an assistant that has been with him for five years and helped him transform Arsenal into title contenders.Cuesta joined the Spanish head coach’s backroom staff on August 2020 after some impressive stints at Atletico Madrid and Juventus where he worked as the Under-17s’ assistant manager.That was just eight months after Arteta replaced Unai Emery at the helm. This comes ahead of what many have described as a critical season for Arsenal’s manager as pressure is piling up for him to win a trophy amid a six-year stint that has only seen him winning one FA Cup.Cuesta THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..The Sun is your go to destination for the best football, boxing and MMA news, real-life stories, jaw-dropping pictures and must-see video.Like us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/TheSunFootball and follow us from our main Twitter account at @TheSunFootball.
