Juventus wanted Benitez and Spalletti before Del Neri,But Spalletti was too costly to bring back to Italian soil.And when Andrea Agnelli became president of Juventus he decided against Benitez as he felt Benitez wanted too much power at the club.
Capello was considered,but he would have been harder to get than Spalletti.
So Del Neri got the job as choices ran out.Obviously Beppe Marotta joining Juventus helped Del Neri to get the job.
I agree though it is a big risk for Juventus to take.
Marco Van Basten was offered the Milan job last week.But he turned it down as he thought he was to inexperienced to do the job.He has been accused of cowardice in some quarters,but if he feels he cannot do the job then fair enough in my opinion.You don't want a manager who fears the job.
You sum it up perfectly Maji,couldn't do much better myself.
He famously turned up for training at Inter's training ground wearing an AC Milan shirt.As you can imagine it went down really well with the fans.
It's obvious Cesc Fabregas wants to join Barcelona,Wenger should let him go,collect the £35 million and improve his Arsenal side,making goalkeeper his priority.
Kaka,Sergio Aguero,Milos Krasic and Mirko Vucinic will probably come to the Premier League over the summer.But Tevez,Van Persie,Torres(if no takeover at Liverpool)and Fabregas could well be leaving i would guess as things stand.
I doubt Tevez will be at City next season with Real Madrid and Inter being very keen.
Gerrard will surely stay at Anfield.
And Aguero Chelsea or Inter.
Serie B will go to a play-off this season because there isn't a 10 point gap between 3rd and 4th.
So Torino still have a chance,we just need to hold Crotone off for the last 2 games.
Inter should be out of sight.They are going to have to score now with Roma 2 up.Cracking goal by De Rossi
Zenit have just won the Russian FA Cup.Beating Sibir Novosibirsk 1-0 with a penalty from Roman Shirokov.
Well done Luciano Spalletti.
In 3 hours time i expect a certain Portuguese fella to be celebrating too.
