Novellino keen to see ex-Juventus chief Moggi back in football

Former Sampdoria coach Walter Novellino wants to see Luciano Moggi return to football.

Novellino believes the likes of former Juventus coach Ciro Ferrara could do with an experienced sports director in tow like Moggi.

Novellino said: “It's a period where it's fashionable to focus on a young Coach like Guardiola, also because it means a club spends less.

“The truth is that in the end the experience of a Coach counts a lot. It makes the difference.

“Anyway, in order to win you need a great director behind you. You need a director like Moggi who protects you.

“I don't think I am exaggerating in saying that Lippi and Capello's Scudetti were 60-70 per cent down to the great work done by the Triad.”
