he definitely improved over the years as a speaker, but if i look at his career/life choices lately, i get the impression of a famous, but superficial guy, who will do whatever he's payed for. i mean who the hell goes to india to play football? i guess he didn't realize in time that he should have considered retirement. (btw moggi's book gave the same impression about alex. a great buddy of mine translated some parts from the book to hungarian, it is an interesting read, italian speakers might want to find a copy.) also, when he announced his retirement, he claimed that he had the intention of starting a coaching career later. wouldn't be smart to have a uefa coaching licence first? i remember those mallorca rumors, too. (iirc he was rumored to become mallorca's sports director, then the deal was off for some reason.) i know that this was just a rumor, and i took it with a grain of salt, but mallorca, seriously? india wasn't enough?
anyway, as much as i loved alex as a player, i'm convinced that he's not up to the task to be juve's first decision making manager. as always, ymmv
