My Take

Moreno Torricelli embodies the unglamorous virtue I love most in football. A right-back out of Erba in Como, he was never the headline name, but his disciplined defending was a quiet pillar of that title-winning Juventus side of the 1990s. At 184 cm he was strong in duels and dependable to a fault, the sort of player coaches trust and fans underrate. A spell at Espanyol and a later move into coaching show a man wedded to the game's craft rather than its spotlight. I'll always have a soft spot for the reliable workhorses who let the stars shine.

Overview

Moreno Torricelli (Italian pronunciation: [moˈrɛːno torriˈtʃɛlli]; born 23 January 1970) is an Italian football manager and former defender, who usually played as a full-back on the right flank.
