ntupdate =Walter Alfredo Novellino (born
June 6 ,1953 inMontemarano , Avellino) is a former manager of the ItalianSerie A football team Torino.Novellino was originally a player for Perugia and AC Milan, being nicknamed "Monzon" after an Argentine boxer due to both his physical resemblance to him and his determination on the pitch. He also won one cap for the
Italy national football team before he became a trainer.He made his debut in management in 1992 with Perugia of
Serie C1 , but this was shortlived. Next season, he moved to Gualdo who he led in two years to win first Serie C2 and then to a spot in the Serie C1 promotion play-off finals which they eventually lost to Avellino. He then went ontoSerie B sides Perugia, Ravenna and then in Venezia who he led toSerie A for the first time in the club history.In 2000, he led Napoli to a Serie A promotion, and repeated the feat the following season with Piacenza. In 2002, he joined Sampdoria, immediately leading the team to a Serie A promotion, the fourth time he'd helped a team achieve this goal. In his first Serie A season with Sampdoria, they achieved a 5th place and a
UEFA Cup qualification, but lost the battle with Udinese for the lastUEFA Champions League place. He left Sampdoria in 2007 to join Torino, where he was fired on April 16th, 2008.References
