Caracciolo only joined the Grifone this summer from Brescia but struggled to hold down a first-team shirt and managed just one goal in six months.
With Enrico Preziosi securing Alberto Gilardino from Fiorentina” data-scaytid=”13″>Fiorentina, Caracciolo was granted permission to move on and reportedly had a choice between four or five Serie A sides.
Wednesday afternoon saw the striker officially complete a loan switch to Novara, which according to Caracciolo, was always his first choice destination.
“I chose Novara because it is a club that has shown belief in me. In reality there are also few clubs as organised or structured as they are in Serie A, I think it is the right place for my revival.
“I come from a not-so-positive period with Genoa and I want to redeem myself. Survival will not be an easy target, but Novara can do it and I say this because I am the first to believe it.”
The 6ft4 30-year-old developed the nickname ‘L’Arione’ – The Heron – for his ability in the air and for a unique goal celebration.
“Two qualities that I have always been recognised for in spite of my height are my speed and coordination.
“Of course I have to feel good physically to give my best , my body structure requires it. I will continue to live in Milan, with my wife and children.”
