He met Conte as a team mate in his final season (1991/92). Alessio hung up his boots in 1998 and immediately embarked on a coaching career. He has worked with Antonio for a year, from the start of their successful adventure in Siena.
Cristian Stellini – Coach
Born in Cuggiono on 27th April 1974, Cristian Stellini enjoyed a long playing career, representing Novara, Spal, Ternana, Como, Modena, Genoa and Bari. He won eight championships, four in Serie C and four in Serie B. He trained under Antonio Conte at Bari in 2008/2009, building a strong relationship with the manager and progressing to coaching the first team, following his retirement in 2010. Stellini assumed this role last season at Siena, culminating in promotion to the top division, and follows Conte to begin a new era at Juventus.
Professor Paolo Bertelli – Fitness coach
Paolo Bertelli, born in Firenze on 8th December 1960 has enjoyed a high profile career at the top level. He graduated in Motor Science and has been a professional fitness coach since 1987. His career began with Fiorentina, where he worked for twelve seasons with both the Youth Sector and the first team. After a year in Venice and another in Firenze, he arrived in Udine. Bertelli remained in Friuli for three years, before his long stay in the capital. He spent six richly successful campaigns with the Giallorossi and was named as the best Serie A fitness coach in 2008.
Claudio Filippi – Goalkeeping coach
Having graduated from Roma’s ISEF University in 1989, becoming a professional athletic coach in 1994 and a UEFA coach in 1997, Claudio Filippi is one of the most highly regarded and best qualified goalkeeping coaches in Europe. He arrived at Juventus in 2010 following experiences with Verona, Roma, Siena and two spells at Chievo. Filippi has introduced new training methods at Juventus, such as the machine that fires shots at the goalkeepers and the shield used to deflect crosses towards goal. These methods, coupled with more traditional training techniques, have been extremely efficient and are appreciated by Juve’s goalkeepers.
