Monza, the bottom team in Italy’s Serie A, announced on Monday the return of Alessandro Nesta to coach the team, following the dismissal of Salvatore Bocchetti after a heavy defeat on Sunday that left the club at the bottom of the standings.<\/p>\n
Bocchetti replaced Nesta in December, signing a contract until June 2027, but the team had won only once in 7 league matches, with Sunday\u2019s 5-1 loss to Lazio being their fourth consecutive defeat.<\/p>\n
Monza also exited the Coppa Italia after a 4-0 loss to Bologna under Bocchetti’s leadership.<\/p>\n
Nesta, the former Italy international and Lazio and Milan defender, will resume his role as Monza’s coach after 7 weeks of being dismissed.<\/p>\n
Nesta first took charge of the team following the departure of coach Raffaele Palladino to Fiorentina at the end of last season. However, his first stint at managing a Serie A team ended prematurely, with Monza winning only once in their first 17 matches.<\/p>\n
Monza, who have only won twice in the league this season, currently have 13 points from 24 matches and will host Lecce next Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
