Monza has appointed Alessandro Nesta as their new manager for the upcoming season, replacing Raffaele Palladino. Nesta, who has a background with Lazio and AC Milan, has signed a one-year contract and will assume his first managerial role in Serie A after coaching stints in the U.S. and Serie B.

Monza have appointed Alessandro Nesta as their manager for next season, replacing Raffaele Palladino, the Serie A club said on Wednesday. Nesta, a former Italy international who played with Lazio and AC Milan, has signed a one-year contract, with automatic renewal for another season upon reaching certain conditions, and replaces Palladino who left to take charge of Fiorentina.

This will be Nesta's first managerial role in Serie A. He began his coaching career with Miami FC in the U.S. in 2015 and since then has managed Perugia, Frosinone and Reggiana in Serie B. Last season, 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, who finished 12th last season, their second campaign in Serie A.
