Serie B: Perugia to appoint Nesta?

By Football Italia staff

In a shock move, Perugia have sacked Coach Roberto Breda despite qualifying for the promotion play-offs and are due to hire Alessandro Nesta.

They earned a 1-1 draw with Novara this afternoon, but still opted to sack the tactician and a statement confirmed they’ll name the new boss on May 14.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the name of the new Coach will be Nesta in his first Italian management role.

The former Lazio and Milan defender was the Coach of Miami FC in the North American Soccer League (NASL, a form of Serie B for MLS).

He left when they lost the promotion play-offs to New York Cosmos in November 2017.
