Former AC Milan legend Alessandro "Billy" Costacurta has taken over as coach of Serie B side Mantova, replacing Giuseppe Brucato.
Costacurta retired at the end of the 2006-07 season and remained as an unofficial second assistant coach to Carlo Ancelotti at Milan while he tried to attain his coaching badges.
The 42-year-old spent 20 seasons at Milan, winning seven Scudetti and five European Cup and Champions League trophies.
The biggest disappointment in his career came in 1994 when he missed both the Champions League final for Milan and the World Cup final for Italy due to suspensions.
Costacurta, who turned down the Pisa job in pre-season, will make his coaching debut away at Rimini.
