Agnelli backs Juventus legend to lead Calcio
Agnelli feels that the Bianconeri’s legendary no. 10 can contribute immensely to Italy’s attempt to restructure its game.
Del Piero, a 2006 world cup winner, has over 513 appearances for the Bianconeri in his 20-year association with the club and currently plays for Delhi Dynamos in the Indian Super League.
“If you had a good football career, it’s not necessarily the case that you know how to take on a managerial role,” Agnelli said during an event at the Milan Triennale.
“Del Piero might, however, be the right man to lead a footballing institution.”
When asked about a possible Juventus return, Agnelli refused to close the door.
“I don’t know if he’ll return to Juventus, but he can certainly be a major face for Juventus and also for Italian football.”
