My Take
Novellino reads to me as the consummate Italian football lifer. A midfielder from a small town in Avellino who never towered over anyone at 171 cm, he carved out a respectable playing career and then a far longer one on the bench, managing his way through Serie A sidelines for decades. I trust this archetype: the coach who learned the game from the inside, paid dues as a player, and built credibility match by match rather than on a famous name. There is something deeply reassuring about a tactician shaped by the grind. Those are the managers I instinctively respect.
