Ancelotti Labelled A Traitor By Ex-Juventus Boss Luciano Moggi

Earlier this week, Ancelotti, a former Juventus manager between 1999 and 2001, highlighted the positive side of the 2006 Calciopoli scandal, saying it 'cleaned' Italian football.

The Calciopoli scandal saw Juventus stripped of two Serie A titles and relegated to the second tier while Moggi was imprisoned for match fixing.

Responding to Ancelotti's comments in Italian newspaper Il Liberto, Moggi wrote: “Dear Carlo, your claims make me think you forget about your time at Juventus and don’t realise that you are also reporting yourself."

"You were part of that ‘dirty football’ you enjoyed because it made you grow as a coach.

“You were part of that football also when Juventus lost the title under the rain in Perugia. You were part of that football when the FIGC changed the rules one week before Juventus vs Roma, giving the Giallorossi the chance to play with an extra-EU player, [Hidetoshi] Nakata, who hadn’t been allowed to play before.

“He was also decisive because he scored the equaliser that allowed Roma to win the title and you finished as a runner-up once again.

“At that time, you used to come to my office to complain about the injustice suffered by Juventus. I don’t understand why you condemn this behaviour now, just like traitors who take advantage of the dirty game to grow and then, with lights off, they make whistleblowers, but only to pass as do-gooders.

“It’s easy to fish in a barrel and it costs nothing unless you have something else to declare, only with proofs because phone tappings are ready to deny and Gianfelice Facchetti knows something about it."
