Del Piero Silences Buzz About Juventus Comeback as Exec

Alessandro Del Piero returned to the Stadium after a ten-year absence in the Bologna game, which fueled speculations about a possible insertion into the Juventus management. However, the legendary striker said that nothing is in the works: “It was a fantastic moment on an emotional level, and tough to explain completely. It was an enormous joy. I was not supposed to attend that much. There was no preparation ahead of it, which maybe made it more beautiful and spontaneous.”

Pinturicchio talked to Sky after the Coppa Italia semi-final versus Fiorentina: “It happened by chance. For one reason or another, there was never the right time to do it in recent years. I was accompanying the kids of my Los Academy Academy on a trip to Turin. The club asked me to salute the fans, and I was glad to do it. It felt great.”

Del Piero addressed the rumors about a Juventus comeback: “There was no secret motive behind my appearance at the Stadium, and nothing to hide. The strong chatter afterward surprised me as well. I have met Lapo Elkann several times. I visited the squad in London and greeted everybody. There is nothing substantial or summits on the schedule to set up anything. I have a friendly relationship with the club, and that is all. I do not want to comment on hypotheses that do not even exist at this time. Considering the past, I will be forever connected to these colors regardless of what happens in the future.”
