Deschamps pens Juve deal Monday 10 July, 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Didier Deschamps is the new Juventus boss after he signed a two-year contract with the Italian giants on Monday.
The Frenchman was in pole position to replace Fabio Capello, after his departure to Real Madrid, and his appointment was completed today.
The 37-year-old returns to the club after serving the outfit with success in the 1990s as a quality midfielder.
During his playing days in Turin between 1994 and 1999, he won three Scudetti, a Champions League, an Intercontinental title and a European Super Cup.
Deschamps, who also has an option to renew his agreement for a third season, returns to management after he was sacked and replaced by Francesco Guidolin at Monaco last term.
It’s understood that Deschamps, who could possibly face life in Serie B next term, beat Roberto Donadoni and Alberto Zaccheroni to the job.
