MONZA (ITALPRESS) – Last night’s 2-1 defeat to Juventus and last place in the standings with just 10 points after 17 matches put an end to Alessandro Nesta’s adventure at the helm of Monza. The exoneration is official, with Salvatore Bocchetti taking his place, with a contract until June 30, 2027. The 38-year-old former defender, who in his career has worn the jerseys of Genoa, Rubin Kazan, Spartak Moscow, AC Milan and Verona, among others, took his first steps on the bench right at Hellas in the summer of 2021: under 18, then Tudor’s staff and then the Primavera leadership. In October 2022, after Cioffi’s exoneration, he was promoted to first-team coach, flanked by Zaffaroni, and achieved salvation thanks to success in the play-off against Spezia. Now Monza, which finds last with 10 points after 17 days: debut Saturday at the “Tardini” against Parma.With Bocchetti replacing Nesta, the changes on the bench in the 2024-25 Serie A rise to five.The first one last September 18, when the draw with Genoa on the fourth day cost Daniele De Rossi his exoneration: Roma decided to entrust the leadership of the team to Ivan Juric. Who, however, lasts only two months (3 wins and 5 knockouts the balance in the league), with the home defeat against Bologna on the 12th day marking a point of no return: with the Giallorossi on 13 points, the Friedkins change again and bet on Claudio Ranieri. The same Serie A round also sees a change at the helm at Lecce: after the draw with Empoli and with the team third last with 9 points, away goes Luca Gotti and bench to Marco Giampaolo. The 12th round is also fatal for Alberto Gilardino: the 1-1 draw with Como, with Genoa in the lower reaches with 10 points, is his last game in charge of the Rossoblù; in his place comes Patrick Vieira. Last year there were 12 total changes on the bench at the end of the championship.- photo Ipa Agency -(ITALPRESS).
