Alessandro Nesta is back at Monza for a second stint as coach of the Serie A club, just seven weeks after he was sacked.

The World Cup-winning former AC Milan and Italy defender was dismissed by Monza on December 23 after leading the team to just one win in 17 matches in the league.

Nesta was replaced by Salvatore Bocchetti, who signed a contract through to the 2026-27 season, but has now returned to the role, Monza said in a short statement.

Nesta was a defender in the Italy squad that won the 2006 World Cup, and played for AC Milan and Lazio.

He has also coached Miami FC, Perugia, Frosinone and Reggiana. Monza have 13 points from 24 matches and are bottom of Serie A.
