Juventus Name Luigi Del Neri Head Coach
After flirting with Rafa Benitez for the last couple of weeks Juventus have named former Sampdoria coach (and just about every other Italian club) Luigi Del Neri head coach. After a dissapointing run with Roma, and getting fired before the season even started with defending Champions League holders Porto at the time Del Neri gets what is most likely to be his final kick at the can coaching a top club.
Del Neri may not of been Juventus first choice but he can be the one to lead Juventus back to the top of Italian football. He has done outstanding jobs with Sampdoria last year, leading them to a Champions League spot next season and previous to that Atalanta who he guided to mid table safety every year and then got regulated the season after he left. It may not mean much with Jose Mourinho about to leave for Real Madrid but it does help that Luigi Del Neri has had a better record than most mangers when going up against Jose Mourinho.
On a personal note I wonder if he’ll make it over for Juventus tour of North America next week? Wouldn’t mind seeing him in action as I’m going to watch the Juventus vs Fiorentina friendly at the Rogers centre.
