Juve, the real blow could be Del Piero: Ferrero will call him | First page

Gianluca Ferrero will only be called president of Juventus from 18 January 2023. In the meantime, however, he certainly cannot remain idle, while working in the shadows, away from the spotlights and even from Continassa. There are cards and numbers to study carefully. There is, above all, a completely new board of directors to be formed together with John Elkann, a technical government to face this delicate phase in the best possible way. There will be law and economics experts, the sports area will be led by Max Allegri with the support of Federico Cherubini. But a strong man of sport, football, Juve, will in any case be singled out. With a great objective to be achieved in this very special acquisition campaign by Ferrero, the same as all the Juventus people: Alessandro Del Piero. THE CALL – A call is on the agenda, perhaps it has already taken place, it will surely arrive. To ask him to join the club, to represent the image of the new Juve that acts as a guarantee for all Juventus players. Beyond the role, Del Piero could really be the man of sport in a government of only technicians. We will have to confront each other, we will have to understand the situation, balance pros and cons. But Alex himself right away, immediately after the resignations of Andrea Agnelli and the Juventus board of directors, immediately made it clear that he was available at least to listen in case of a call: doors open, the house in Turin has never abandoned it despite living in the United States and having become a citizen of the world. Just when the doors of the Allianz Stadium had reopened ten years after he had left him, kicked out by that same Agnelli who will now be gone. The black and white people have been calling for him for some time, they have put Del Piero’s name in the first place of wishes while the earth was still shaking after the earthquake on Monday evening. He said he would answer the house call, the call is scheduled. Ferrero’s (and Elkann’s) first market shot could really be Del Piero.
