Bettega set for Juve return
Juventus are ready to announce the sensational return of Roberto Bettega as a director at the club.
Bettega was a member of the infamous Triad, but emerged from the 2006 Calciopoli scandal largely unscathed.
He was kept on at the club for the remainder of his contract, only for the board to decide not to renew it at the end of Juventus's first season in Serie B back in 2007.
The decision drew criticism from the fans who felt Bettega had been treated unfairly by the new board, which, they allege, didn't understand his importance to the club.
Bettega made 326 appearances for Juventus between 1970 and 1983, scoring 129 goals.
His re-entry is a stunning u-turn by the board, which now really has need of his expertise, especially in the transfer market.
While his role has yet to be defined, it's thought he will give technical support both to Ciro Ferrara and Alessio Secco, the much-criticised 38-year-old director of sport.
The board's decision is thought to have been influenced by events last month when a court in Turin absolved Bettega and Juventus of “administrative doping” under the Triad.
