(Reuters) - Monza have recalled Alessandro Nesta to take over as manager following the sacking of Salvatore Bocchetti, the Serie A club said on Monday, after a heavy defeat at the weekend kept the club rooted at the bottom of the standings.

Bocchetti replaced Nesta in December, signing a contract until June 2027, but his side registered only one win in seven league games, and Sunday's 5-1 loss at Lazio was Monza's fourth consecutive defeat.
