Not sure what kind of odds you could have gotten on Mark Hughes becoming the new head coach of Carlisle, or that you would even believe it if you saw the headline.

Mad Italian football, eh

Monza have reappointed Alessandro Nesta as their manager seven weeks after sacking the former Italy defender.

The Italian club replaced the legendary centre-back with Salvatore Bocchetti in December but dismissed the ex-Hellas Verona coach after a 5-1 defeat by Lazio on Sunday left them eight points from safety at the bottom of Serie A.

Bocchetti, 38, won one and lost six of his seven league games in charge.

Nesta was originally appointed, external Monza boss in July, as the former AC Milan defender took his first managerial job in Serie A.

He won once in 17 league games before being sacked but has now returned and his first match back in charge will be against Lecce on Sunday, 16 February.

Difficult to clear the deadwood when you constantly sign more deadwood.
