I think he's too good and too smart to be a coach, I prefer to give him more responsability. He knows football is smart, can deal with public very good and is widely respected and probably has a very good contacts with people in the industry. He would be very good in top management position that has to deal with football related stuff.
And there is nothing sad or disguisting about people stopping their support for the club be it for player or other reasons. It's the same as saying people who don't support Juve are sad or disguisting, and that is just not true. In the end we choose to support it or not and ether decision is not sad or anything it's just a choice.

I don't know about stopping to support this club. But last night, for the first time since 1994, I had myself wondering if I had lost respect for the club, and if I was right to hate players like Zambrotta, Thuram and Zlatan? This is not about Del Piero leaving Juventus and therefore its not worth supporting the club. This is about the manner in which it's taking place, that makes me question my undying loyalty to this club. For a team, that I have supported for almost two decades, this is how they repay me as a fan? Where is the clubs loyalty to my hero? How can they think they can get away by disrespecting my icon that has given me a large share of happy memories from my time supporting the club.
For those who talk about being disgusted by fans threatening to stop supporting this club, need to ask themselves this: Juventus in all honesty, doesn't have much going for itself as an establishment at the moment. We have a tarnished image in Europe. Relative mediocre talent on our books. A clueless management. And above all, nothing notable in the last five years besides a new stadium.
And the one thing, the one ambassador of the sport that has kept us on the map by the skin of his teeth, we choose to treat this way. Seriously. Its time to introspect what values this club stands for.

You won't hear it. Because Del Piero dint get a chance to speak about what he wanted. Something he had the fundamental right to do after everything he has given this club, and still continues to do so at a salary that most players his level would consider loose change. He signed a contract with a one year extension but at no point did he get a chance to clarify what he wants. If we wanted to speak and give him one last contract and get him out, why the fuck didn't we just do it in 2006? If we really had the balls as a club, maybe we should've let go of Trez, Neddy, Buffon, Del Piero then. Now, we don't need him, so we speak first. Fuck me, but like I said for a club that's got almost nothing going for it, that's a good way to underline why.
Has Del Piero publicly in the course of this year declared he wants to stop playing for Juventus? Just because they have decided to give him one contract doesn't mean that's what he wants. And if Andrea Unibrow thinks its his duty to speak on behalf of Del Piero, I'd advise him to focus on the clubs losses at a shareholders meeting. Not, on cutting out the only good thing we have going for us in that mediocre dressing room.
It was too obvious how he wished/wishes to retire after finishing his 20th year with Juve. Considering his low salary, was that too much to ask for? It doesn't mean a guaranteed spot, it doesn't mean millions of money going his way, it's just letting him finish his story at Juve in the way he wishes.
It's even more saddening when you see how we pay such big money to Amauri for offering literally no service.

There's a difference being implying something and doing what Agnelli did. Del Piero has publicly stated he would play for free. What does that imply to you? The matter of disrespect is, like I said to Martin. a) the context of the announcement. B) not letting the man himself be the one to make the announcement, so we all know that this is what he wants. In fact, given how sensitive this situation is, it would be best that Del Piero himself gave us the closure as fans. That hasn't happened, and it's unacceptable.
Seeing our track record, its pretty damn obvious how we treat those loyal to us. Fuck, we haven't even spared Giovinco, potentially somebody with a big future. Maybe because he loves the club so much we took him for granted. But Amauri. He's still here on a 4m salary. And don't gimme the he didn't want to move crap. Because for that matter nor did Nedved, Trez or Giovinco.
Juventus. If only it was all in Black and White.
