Walter Novellino says it's a dream come true being appointed as Torino coach.
"I feel I am back home," said Novellino as he was unveiled to the media on Wednesday. "This is a dream come true thanks to President Urbano Cairo.
"I arrived here when I was a kid and I return after 37 years. I have always been paired with Toro because I grew up at the Filadelfia."
The 54-year-old was offered a two-year contract by the sleeping giants and he had no hesitation in putting pen to paper.
"I immediately accepted Cairo's offer and I will do all I can in order for the team to be one of the protagonists of next season," he added.
"I was so excited last night that I wasn't able to sleep and I hope I will meet the supporters' expectations."
Torino have also announced the appointment of a new general director in the shape of Stefano Antonelli and sporting director Fabio Lupo.
