He hung up his boots in January 2015, after a last adventure in India, on the side of FC Pune City. David Trézéguet, 43 years old on the clock, has represented Juventus as an ambassador for the past six years. While his contract ends in a few months, the Franco-Argentinian confided in Gianluca Di Marzio about his future. The 1998 world champion wants to get closer to the field. “I started to want to go back,” he explained. For Trezegoal, there is no question of taking a seat on the bench. His goal: to become a sports director. To achieve this, he took a course at CONMEBOL, then obtained a diploma recognized by the Spanish Federation at the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos de Madrid. “In other times, we could do without preparation, not anymore: the footballer’s eye is more developed, but that is not enough”, he explained, before continuing.
“I’m waiting for a team that trusts me and believes in me. I don’t want to waste any more time. “ The former AS Monaco scorer then spoke about the job of DS. “Dialogue, management, preparation on all fronts: economic, legal, bureaucratic. The sports director is the figure between the players, the coach and the club. Former players have an advantage, as a unique feeling is created between those who have been on the pitch in the past and the players. But you have to find the right balance. ” After having been able to observe the methods of Juventus for six years, the Rouenais is ready to stand on his own feet. “I saw Juventus dominate, applying the method that has made its history. But I believe in diversification: you have to open up to understand where you are, the environment, the objectives. That’s what interests me and I don’t want to lack experience: I want to move and learn ”.
