Marco di Vaio Juventus
Marco di Vaio didn’t live up to most people's expectations during his time at Juventus

Marco initially moved to Juventus in the summer of 2002 from Parma on loan before making the move permanent at the end of the season. He arrived from Parma with an impressive scoring record of 20 goals in 33 league appearances for the side.

However, his two years at Turin did not see him reach the heights he was expected to when brought in as he scored just 7 and 11 goals during each of the seasons. Marco’s relatively short stint at Juve is also attributable to the fact that he struggled to cement a first-team place as new signings and established players competed for playing time in a well-drilled squad.

The Italian forward moved to Spanish team Valencia in the summer of 2004 as there was a managerial shake-up at Juve and he did not feature in the new coach’s plans. He went on to play for AS Monaco, Genoa and Bologna before moving to Canadian club Montreal Impact in 2012.
