depends on the person and position
we should not hesitate bringing back former successful leaders of our better physio staffs for instance. if we had the opportunity to take either ventrone (rip) or pintus back and we declined, we're idiots
as for marotta himself, we need a competent general manager and a competent head of scouting, sports director. the latter is luis campos, he'd be my first pick, he could be more important than a star striker. as for the ceo, anyone with experience and prudency would do. i wouldn't insist on marotta, but i wouldn't lose my mind over it either. firing him started the decline (not higuain ffs), getting him back wouldn't start the renaissance. rebirth should start at the locker, and that starts with a sports director. again, luis campos should be our plan a and b, then we could think about someone like guintoli (if he won't extend at napoli), or the sassuolo, atalanta directors whom we've been linked before
