Luciano Moggi says Juventus bringing back Leonardo Bonucci was ‘a bad move’ and that Carlo Ancelotti ‘isn’t enough’ to turn Napoli into Serie A champions.
Moggi focused on Bonucci, Napoli and Ancelotti in the second part of his interview with Corriere dello Sport, as well as passing judgment on Roma and Inter.
“I wouldn’t have taken Bonucci back,” continued the 81-year-old.
“Giving Caldara to Milan in exchange was a bad move, but they had to do it so they’d avoid a heavy loss on Higuain.

“Giving Caldara to Milan in exchange was a bad move, but they had to do it so they’d avoid a heavy loss on Higuain.
“I don’t know Spalletti that well. He seems like a priest when he speaks, but Inter have built a great team.
“They signed a strong centre-back [De Vrij], someone who pulls the strings in the middle of the park in Nainggolan and a champion up top in Lautaro Martinez.
“Roma have sold certainties and bought hopes. The problem is that they make heroes in 10 minutes. Just look at Kluivert.
“Napoli are a top side, but I don’t see how they can win the Scudetto. Ancelotti’s a great Coach, there’s no question about that, as well as being a exceptional guy, but that’s not enough.
“At Juventus he didn’t have the right experience, although in any case he had two good seasons with us.
“There were two Scudetti taken from us. There was the first year with Collina and then the downpour in Perugia.
“The second one was when Roma were allowed to play Nakata against us in Turin, where he proved decisive. It was his break, the turning point of his life.
“Berlusconi called me and asked me for references. I spoke very well of him. He told me: ‘Call him and send him to me.’
“Carlo has only coached great clubs since Milan. I talked to the Juventus supporters and said: ‘Is Ancelotti a pig? In that case, there will be a pig in our dugout for the first time because Ancelotti will be Juventus’ Coach.
“Then, of course, the thing about him being a pig came back after our early defeats.”
