Former Torino coach Walter Novellino admits he would prefer to have Napoli’s Marek Hamsik in his side over Ronaldinho. The Slovakian was an absolute revelation last season, and many experts believe he will make a big splash this coming campaign too.
The ex-Granata man was fired in April as his old Torino side tumbled towards what looked like relegation, but they managed to escape the drop after Gianni De Biasi's arrival.
Novellino is currently unemployed and he is likely to take up a position as a tv pundit. Indeed, he still has plenty of views on the game.
The coach has made his serie A predictions after looking into his crystal ball.
“Ronaldinho? I think he is great and he will get back to his best at Milan,” Novellino told Il Mattino.
“However, I would prefer a younger player like Hamsik in my team to be honest. The Napoli man is skilful and very cheeky on the pitch, he’s a real talent.
“Giovinco? He will be a champion with out a doubt.”
The coach then spoke about the Scudetto favourites as Serie A gears up to the big kick off this weekend.
“Scudetto? I think the usual suspects will all be gunning for glory, but Milan have a great chance as I think they will focus on the league given their failure to qualify for the Champions League,” added the coach.
“Then there is Inter, Juve and Roma who are all strong candidates. Compared to last year, I think the other teams have something more and it will be tough for Inter.”
Milan have strengthened well this term and many have tipped them to lift the Tricolore in May but Jose Mourinho’s Nerazzurri side remain the bookmakers' favourites.
