Monza, bottom of the Serie A standings, has fired Alessandro Nesta. The club's decision came just hours after yesterday's 1-2 defeat to Juventus , which left the Brianza team alone in last place with 10 points, behind Venezia, who beat Cagliari 2-1 to climb to 13 points.
" AC Monza announces that it has relieved Alessandro Nesta of his duties as First Team coach . The Club thanks the coach for what he has done so far and wishes him the best for the future", is the brief statement with which the red and white club bid farewell to the former defender.
In place of Nesta, the favorite for the succession is Salvatore Bocchetti. Also with a past in defense, his previous experience on the bench dates back to 2022-2023 when he joined Marco Zaffaroni at Verona, saving themselves in the play-off with Spezia. In the next round, Monza will play in Parma on Saturday at 15:00, then the very delicate relegation challenge with Cagliari that will open 2025 on Sunday 5 January at 12:30 .
