One more reason to love and respect someone like Lippi
Del Piero: I Would Have Left Juve If Not For Lippi
Juventus hero Alessandro Del Piero has revealed that he would have moved to Parma earlier in his career had it not been for Marcello Lippi.
The Golden Boy signed for Juventus in 1993 from Padova, whilst still a teenager.
At that time the Bianconeri had Azzurri star Dino Baggio at the club, who was one of the best midfielders in Italy.
At the end of the 1994 World Cup, a tournament in which Baggio (like his namesake Roberto) impressed in, scoring crucial goals against Norway and Spain, Serie A rivals Parma put in a bid for the powerful midfielder.
At first Baggio rejected the move, and Juventus instead offered the services of Del Piero, who at the time was nothing more than a promising youngster.
Parma accepted Juve’s offer and Del Piero was all ready to leave, until the transfer fell through at the last minute, and as originally planned Baggio did indeed sign for the Gialloblu.
The rest as they say is history, as Del Piero has gone on to establish himself as one of the Old Lady’s true symbols, and their all-time top goalscorer.
The 33-year-old has no doubts over the reason why he stayed at Juventus, saying that it was Lippi who blocked the move.
“If it wasn’t for Lippi I would have moved to Parma,” Del Piero told the Corriere dello Sport.
