Serie A side Monza have appointed Salvatore Bocchetti as their new manager after sacking Alessandro Nesta on Monday.
The club are bottom of the Serie A table with just one win in 17 games this season and are five points from safety.
Bocchetti’s first managerial experience came at Hellas Verona in 2022 when he missed all six games as their caretaker boss.
The 38-year-old’s first game in charge of Monza takes place on Saturday when they take on Parma, who are five points clear in 16th place.
Former Italy defender Nesta saw Monza suffer a 2-1 defeat at Juventus on Sunday in what proved to be his last game in charge.
Nesta, who played as a centre-back for clubs including AC Milan and Lazio, took over as Monza boss before the start of the season.
But his first Serie A managerial role ended with Monza suffering their third successive defeat at the weekend, extending their winless run to nine games.
“The club thanks the coach for what he has done so far and wishes him the best for the future,” Monza said in a statement.
Winning the 2006 World Cup with Italy, Nesta made his managerial debut at Miami FC in 2015 before stints at Italy’s lower divisions Perugia, Frosinone and Reggiana.
