Monza have sacked manager Alessandro Nesta with the club sitting at the bottom of the Serie A table. The former Italy defender saw his side suffer a 2-1 defeat by Juventus on Sunday in what proved to be his final game in charge. Monza have only won once in 17 league matches this season and are five points away from safety.

Juventus got their first win in five Serie A games with a 2-1 vicotry over Monza at the Stadio Brianteo. Juve took the lead in the 14th minute through Weston McKennie, who hooked home a Teun Koopmeiners corner from close range. It was the American midfielder's fourth of the season of a productive campaign.

Weston McKennie and Nicolas Gonzalez were on target for Thiago Motta's side, who ended a run of four successive league draws. The Bianconeri broke the deadlock in the 14th minute, as an unmarked McKennie volleyed home from Teun Koopmeiners' corner.
