Yesterday president announced that legendary captain will leave the club at the end of the season after nearly 20 years.

Whether this means he will quit football altogether or leave for another club, remains to be seen.

Many football lovers were disappointed by this announcement, including former and coach Cesare .

“I was surprised,” he told news agency Ansa, “now there’s only [Francesco] Totti left as a symbolic player of a big team and I hope he continues for a long time. It was strange that Agnelli made this announcement, however, especially because it’s the start of the season.

“Alessandro should have been there with the president and said that the decision was taken together with full agreement. Now I’m curious what Del Piero is going to say.”

Del Piero joined Juventus from in 1993, and has played with the ever since. He has scored 205 league goals for the -based club.

Founder of Socceranchor.com, I am a devoted Serie A and Roma supporter, who fell in love with the game at the age of just five, when Roberto Baggio excelled at the ’94 World Cup. Living in Australia and initially supporting Fiorentina, all roads led to Rome when star man Gabriel Batistuta made the switch, and I have not looked back since. Have worked for Goal.com and ESPNsoccernet over the past five years, whilst I spent a few months in the UK in 2010, working as an intern for the likes of ESPN, Sky Sports and The Guardian. Also had the amazing opportunity to report from the recent World Cup in South Africa – a life changing experience. Follow me on twitter: @adriandelmonte
