Former Italy defender Alessandro Nesta has been appointed as the new head coach of Frosinone.

Marco Baroni was unable to prevent Frosinone's relegation from Serie A last season and his replacement in the dugout is former Lazio, AC Milan and Italy centre-back Nesta.

Frosinone confirmed Nesta's arrival on Monday, with the 43-year-old signing a two-year deal at Stadio Benito Stirpe.

Nesta started his coaching career in the United States with Miami FC and he led Perugia in Serie B last season, missing out on promotion through the play-offs.
