Johor has pulled another major transfer coup , after the capture of Dani Guiza, by landing former Lazio player, Simone Del Nero for a one year deal. The 31 year-old has been a free agent after his contract with Lazio ended in July 2012. Del Nero claimed that numerous offers has been made to him by a lot of bigger club, notably Serie A clubs, but he turn down all the offer to accept Johor bid for his signature. He stated that he is highly impressed with the Johor's plan to make the team as one of top footballing side in Malaysia, as well as winning titles and trophies. Johor concedes that Del Nero will make Johor's midfield more formidable and hope Del Nero could make an instant impact for a new season.
