Ranieri wants Juve back at the top
Juventus president Giampiero Boniperti turned 80 today and the club have begun summer training promising to give the La Vecchia Signora legend something to celebrate as he begins his ninth decade.
Scudetto aim
Their two-year absence from European competition will end next month and coach Claudio Ranieri is keen to use that first tie as a springboard for a successful season. "Our first objective is to get through the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round," he said "But it is no secret that we are also thinking about the Scudetto. I do not think it is a taboo for us."
Settled in
When Ranieri replaced Didier Deschamp a year ago, many fans and critics were sceptical and even thought Marcello Lippi would have taken his place by the end of the season. Instead, newly-promoted Juve finished third in Serie A, Lippi is back in charge of the national team and Ranieri is proving popular with players and supporters. "Last summer we had to start from scratch, while now I know the players and they know me too," explained the 56-year-old. "We only have to help the newcomers to reach this level of knowledge."
Improvements
Those newcomers include striker Amauri, a €22.7m arrival from US Città di Palermo, defender Olof Mellberg and his fellow Swede, playmaker Albin Ekdal, versatile Croatian Dario Knežević and left-back Paolo De Ceglie. Ranieri knows that while third place was a good return last season, expectations are now higher at a club with 27 Scudettos to their name. "We need to make improvements compared to last year, everyone at Juventus has to be a high-flyer," the coach said. "I was ambitious last term and I am even more today. We cannot hide and we have to look for the best results in every competition we play."
Rivalry
Ranieri was, of course, replaced at Chelsea FC in 2004 by José Mourinho, who has now taken over at reigning champions FC Internazionale Milano. "His arrival in the Italian football is good news for me," Ranieri said. "But Inter will not be our only rivals for the Scudetto. I also fear AS Roma, AC Milan, [ACF] Fiorentina and the other teams who will play in the UEFA Cup [UC Sampdoria and Udinese Calcio]." And whereas Mourinho has tasted both UEFA Champions League and domestic league success in his career, Ranieri is yet to do so and is keen to correct that. "Working for Juventus means that you want to be the No1."

now that Jose is their coach.
Ruineri is sounding like last season:
Ranieri Going For The Scudetto
Juventus boss Claudio Ranieri has reiterated his stance that the club will be fighting for the Scudetto next season.
The Bianconeri were expected to struggle during Ranieri’s first season in charge at the club last term, following their post-Calciopoli promotion from Serie B.
However Italy’s most successful club did much better than many people predicted, and finished third in Serie A, thus qualifying for the Champions League.
Next season Juve are hoping to improve even further, and Ranieri admits that the Scudetto is what everyone is aiming for.
“Last year I was saying we needed to be a nuisance to everybody; well this year we need to be even more pragmatic and efficient,” said The Tinkerman from the club’s summer training camp in Pinzolo.
“The important thing will be to improve game after game, but, sure, all of us hope we can win the title.”
SOUND FAMILIAR!???
We are goingo to win SHIT.... (maybe Coppa)
He is not the right man for JUVE, like the whole BOARD...

What is he supposed to say if the media keeps asking him questions? If he said that we stood no chance of winning the title then you'd also be screaming to sack him. Just cut the crap, let the man do his job. He did very well so far, above all expectations.
He has my full support
Support for everyone, even for Sicko....
Now, get us Alonso, and that blonde gyu
