The day before Christmas Eve, Alessandro Nesta receives the message that will put a strong damper on the celebrations. The Italian legend first played almost ten years at Lazio, then ten years in the AC Milan shirt. As a coach, there have been one to two seasons at the clubs, at Monza it will be an even shorter stay. On Monday, the 48-year-old was fired.
With Nesta as coach since July, Monza are last in Serie A. 10 points from 17 games is the last he delivers for the club.
– AC Monza announces that Alessandro Nesta has been relieved of his duties as head coach of the first team. The club thanks the coach for his efforts so far and wishes him all the best for the future, writes Monza dryly on the club’s website.
We are still surprised by the timing of firing the coach.
