I don't know how receptive Juve would be of an English coach but Alan Curbishley is a very good candidate who never got to manage a club as big as Juve and isn't Riijkaard unemployed too?

STAY AWAY from Juve english managers , players , and anything english !!!!That would piss me off i'd hate too see an engish manager ?!? to coach any italian team . Hell there isn't one GOOD eng manager coaching a top 5-6 team in EPL .Plus italian coaches are SUPERIOR to the engish coaches .

well, in a nicer way...I think it'd be very hard for an english coach to succeed in Italy.

good win, nice goal by amauri.

but i can't be calmed down with the little offensive production juve is having this season, they have won almost every game with 1 goal difference!!!!

and today they played Bologna and once again only won by 1. two goals by Nedved the great!

Calcio Debate: Del Piero + Rest = The Best

Alessandro Del Piero was the mastermind behind Juventus’ 2-0 win over Roma on Saturday night. Carlo Garganese believes that if the Golden Boy is afforded regular rest, he will continue to shine this season…

Alex Del Piero turns 34 this Sunday, but if you witnessed his magical display against Roma on Saturday night, you would be forgiven for thinking he was about to celebrate his 24th birthday. A world-class free kick, an assist, not to mention some inspired moments of skill, Del Piero will no doubt make it into Goal.com’s Team of the Week for Round 10.

The Italy international has been written off so many times over the past few years, only to prove his critics wrong, that no one dares to question him any longer. These same doubters remained silent when, with the exception of the Real Madrid game, Del Piero endured a rather under-par start to the current campaign.

During Juventus’ crisis period a few weeks back, when they went five games without a win, and lost successive matches to Palermo and Napoli, Del Piero really did look like an ageing player.

However, there is a simple reason why the forward wasn’t up to scratch during this period – he was being overplayed by coach Claudio Ranieri. Del Piero started seven straight games for Juve in just over a month, sometimes playing as many as three of these in the space of seven days.

Now this volume of matches would test even the greatest of athletes, but for a 33-year-old, who is hardly renowned for his stamina and Javier Zanetti-like staying power, it comes as no surprise that his form dropped a touch.

The reason why Del Piero was so devastating against Roma was because he had been rested against Bologna in midweek, and had thus had seven days to recover since the derby win over Torino.

Ask yourself why Del Piero was such a revelation last season, finishing as top-scorer in Serie A. The answer is simple. Juventus were not participating in the Champions League, meaning that Del Piero was as fit as a fiddle, only taking to the field once a week.

Del Piero does not have the body and the physical capacity to regularly play every three days. However, afforded regular rest, and he is a huge asset, and still the symbol of this Juventus team.

yeah, del piero 2-3 years ago seemed like he was one step away from retiring. now, he doesn't look old at ALL!!! since last season he's had like his second coming and he's made some awesome goals like he hadn't in a long time.

and this juve team has a lot of experienced players and a lot of young players, that mixture can be lethal, they just need the right spark.

and finally!!! they win by more than one goal!!!!

Del Piero = Amazing. I don't want to hear it.
Two more nice goals and Juve are looking 100 times better than a few weeks ago.

Del Pieroooo - GOD among man !
I couldn't sleep of joy and can't stop smiling all day .

Del Piero is just sick. Don't know about a lot of players performing better than him as of late.

Post #197 » by **BlackMamba** » Fri Nov 7, 2008 4:50 pm

i wonder how much is juve focusing in champions leage and how much in serie A.

Post #198 » by **tkb** » Sun Nov 9, 2008 4:25 pm

Del Piero with another masterpiece of a free kick against Chievo. To see this 34 year old legend still dominate is amazing.

Post #199 » by **magik9113** » Sun Nov 9, 2008 7:07 pm

There is no one better than him at free kicks. Bend it Like Alex.
