Zaccheroni and his difficult challenge with the Juventus
The removal from office of Ciro Ferrara was sung at the head of the Juventus: the vecchia signora had connected a paupérrima gust of results, losing 9 of his last 12 parties adding all the competitions, eliminated of the Champions and in a sixth disappointing position, with poor records scorers and with a staff demoralized and reduced by the injuries, the historical club of Turin it seemed determined to change technician: the problem is who would accept to take charge of a club with similar problems.
And the fact is that many technical staff knows that, to the orders of the black-and-white ones, they will have to fight with the decisions of Alessio Secco, the sports director of the club, which leaves little that to say to the trainers on the politics of signings of the club. Names as that of Rafa Benítez or Marcello Lippi have dreamed like Ferrara stand-ins – some others like Van Basten, Laudrup, Hiddink or Dino Zoff) but they are conscious of the problems of the club and that the next period will have options limited to reinforce the staff due to the important economic effort of last summer.
A transition solution was looking like the option more to the scope for the leaders of the club and two principal candidates were Zaccherni and Claudio Gentile, the mythical player azzurro and at present seleccionador Italian Sub-21. And the elected one is finally Alberto Zaccheroni (56 years), who was going in unemployment since it was dismissed of the Torino in February, 2007 and that previously he had trained the Milan (champion of the Series A in 1999), Inter of Milan, Lazio and Udinese, in addition to the Italian selection.
With the election of Zac, who has signed until June, 2010, the club bets for a technician with experience in the maximum competition, respected and with taste by the most offensive game, although with the staff touched especially in the fundamental one and the attack on the falls of David Trezeguet, Vincenzo Iaquinta and Sebastian Giovinco between others. With the panorama that it has ahead, 3-4-3 will be necessary to see how the trainer combines his taste for the system with a team previously designed for other ends and moral hairdo and physically.
