Monza Fires Alessandro Nesta After Disastrous Serie A Run

The former Italy World Cup winner departs as Monza sits at the bottom of the league with just one win in 17 matches this season.

Alessandro Nesta, a 2006 World Cup winner with Italy, was dismissed as Monza's head coach after a 2-1 loss to Juventus on Sunday.
Nesta was hired in June to replace Raffaele Palladino, who left for Fiorentina after two successful seasons with Monza.
Under Nesta's leadership, Monza managed only one league win, a 3-0 victory at Hellas Verona in October, and endured nine consecutive winless matches.
The team currently sits five points away from safety in Serie A and is at risk of relegation to Serie B.
Reports suggest that former Verona assistant coach Salvatore Bocchetti is a leading candidate to replace Nesta, though no successor has been officially announced.
