A former World Cup winner has seen his time in charge of a Serie A club come to an end after jut five months.
Monza have appointed Salvatore Bocchetti as manager to replace Alessandro Nesta, the Serie A club announced on Monday.
The struggling side sit bottom of the standings having won just one league game this season.
Nesta was dismissed on Monday with Bocchetti signing a contract until June 2027 with the club.
Bocchetti’s only previous managerial experience came as caretaker coach at Hellas Verona in 2022.
He lost all six games in charge, including a defeat to Monza, after his temporary promotion from managing the club’s youth team.
