Yup.
But it also won't necessarily mean a successful Juventus.
In another time or another place, someone who's now a well known historical figure, whose name is written in all the history books, could have been an annonymous no-one.
1994 was a year when Serie A was the best league in the world. Only 4 years earlier modern new stadiums were built all over Italy. Football wasn't as commercialized as it is now, not as much money were invested, and a guy like Berlusconi was forcing the others around him in Italy to invest more.
Being the best league, Serie A had no rivals in England or Spain and all the best players wanted to play in Italy.
Juve had the luck to have a youngster named Del Piero (came to Juve before Moggi) and later we hit the jack-pot with Zidane.
16 years later I don't see a 19 year old top talent in Juve and if a 23 year old Zidane is now playing in Bordeaux you'll see half of England and Spain offering more money for him that Juventus (with or without Moggi) can not afford to spend.
Then you have all Moggi's connections, associates from the past. Already having the links while at Napoli, taking the function of a general manager in the most successful team in Italy owned by the great Agnelli, only made Moggi stronger.
Does he still have the connections? Do people still want to work with him and co-operate? Can he still offer to them what he could back in the days?
It's not black and white. Having Moggi back doesn't necessarily mean a cheating Juve, but it's foolish to think that everything will become pink again.
