Secco's job at risk Monday 14 December, 2009
Juventus have stood behind Ciro Ferrara, but it appears changes could be afoot in the boardroom with director of sport Alessio Secco particularly at risk.
The Bianconeri's last campaign in the transfer market has come under real scrutiny as the Turin giants spent over £50m, mostly on two players, namely Diego and Felipe Melo.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Secco was the main sponsor of those two deals and if a sacrificial lamb is needed as penance for Juventus's recent poor form then he will apparently be the one most likely to get the chop.
Another criticism levied at Secco was his inability to sell players during the summer, the most notable being Christian Poulsen, leaving Juventus with a player who was unwanted, but his saving grace is perhaps the fact Poulsen has proven very useful in an injury hit season.
Secco isn't well loved in the dressing room or the curva, which makes him the most palatable fall guy in this black period for the Bianconeri.
The news comes just hours after Lapo Elkann, the grandson of Juventus legend Gianni Agnelli, launched a scathing attack on the club.
Elkann said: “For a fan like me the last two Juventus games have been horrifying. My grandfather would have liked the Juventus that beat Inter, not that against Bayern nor that seen in Bari.
“They were not games worthy of Juventus,” he concluded.
