yup, then it was a new management with Lippi and all, in fact Del Piero's long existance has been because of Lippi, we sold baggio when he was like 28 and very much still producing.
But Lippi just opted for the younger DP, in part I think Lippi felt very proud that he had a hand in making DP who he is thats why he is overly biased as our coach when it came to DP.
As I said before, he filled Baggio's shoes for about 4 years, and then it came off.
