On an anonymous afternoon in June, under the gray Brianza sky, the future of Monza formally met his new technical guide: Alessandro Nesta. Nothing surprising to be honest, because the news had already been in the air for weeks, all that was missing was confirmation, which came directly from Adriano Galliani in person. On the day of the presentation of the new name of the Monza sports centre, this is how he announced the coach for next season.
“Alessandro Nesta will be the new coach who will take up the position from 1 July. Introducing Alessandro Nesta is superfluous, a great player who with Berlusconi’s Milan won two Champions League, European Super Cups, Club World Cup, also scoring goals, championships, Italian cups, Italian super cups… A great player. A coach who grew up from Miami via Frosinone and now Reggiana and who we absolutely consider mature“
After the surprising salvation of his newly promoted player Reggianathe new adventure of Alessandro Nesta – his first in Serie A – will therefore be in Monza, where he is ready to take up the legacy of another debutant who was in the top league, like Palladino. The almost two years in Brianza have shattered the skeptics’ beliefs about him. The same epilogue that Galliani hoped for Nesta shortly after the announcement, recalling that the fact of being a debutant does not always force one to lower one’s expectations.
The announcement, in an almost anachronistic manner, arrived directly by word of mouth and before social media. Now we just wait for the presentation conference, after which Nesta will be able to get to work building his first season in Serie A.
