Whoever the coach is next season, I think we would see a reduced role for Alessandro. Not that he's going to be any less important give that he's the crucible that keeps the team together. I think the role of super-sub and starter for the bigger CL games would suit him just fine. But I'm guessing a large part of it also boils down to how much the new coach believes in Gio and giving the youngsters a go. If our shortlist is only of the three being mooted about, then I think Ciro would probably do Gio more justice than a Laurent Blanc.
Whoever watched Juventus last two games vs Siena and Lazio will surely have Del Piero in his starting 11 for next season. The man was running dribbling in air ffs, aerial backheel pass, dribble past 3 defenders, defending playing as midfielder scoring...
Anyone who wants to kick Ale out of his starting 11 will soap it.

That's a possibility at the start of the season, but let's realise that Del Piero like Nedved is a human being at the end of the day. And a long season could take a toll on him. It just comes with the territory when you're competing on all fronts in a league like the serie a which lays such great impetus on one's physicality. That's not to say he's not a consideration, it just means it reduces the opportunity somebody like a Giovinco gets. This is probably the best time to throw Gio into the deep end so he can establish a better understanding with the likes of Diego and Iaq, Amauri, Trez or whoever. This is not to question Del Piero's ability on the field, he can still teach that entire forward line up a thing or two, it's simply his ability to endure the yards, week in week out.
