Novellino was originally a player for Perugia and AC Milan . He also won one cap for the Italy National Football Team before he became a trainer. He made his debut in management with Perugia of Serie C1 , but this was shortlived.

Next season, he moved to Gualdo who he led to promotion to the Serie C1 promotion play-offs, which they eventually lost to Serie C2 . He then went onto Serie B sides Perugia , Ravenna and then in Venezia who he led to Serie A for the first time in the club history.

In 2000, he led Napoli to a Serie A promotion, and repeated the feat the following season with Piacenza . In 2003, he joined Sampdoria, immediately leading the team to a Serie A promotion, the fourth time he'd helped a team achieve this goal. In his first Serie A season with Sampdoria, they achieved a 5th place and a UEFA Cup qualification, but lost the battle with Udinese for the last UEFA Champions League place.
