Italy legend Nesta gets Monza gig
Italy great Alessandro Nesta has been appointed as the new manager of Monza.
The 48 year-old comes in as the successor to Raffaele Palladino, who switched Monza for Fiorentina last week.
Nesta, a World Cup-winner in 2006, has enjoyed a modest managerial career compared to his remarkable playing days.
The former defender will embark on his first Serie A season as a coach after spells with Perugia, Frosinone and Reggiana.
Nesta led promoted Reggiana to an 11th-place finish in Italy's second tier and has now resolved his contract issues with the club in order to take over at Monza.
His new club finished 12th last season in what was just its second campaign in Serie A.
