Tacchi completes Spanish move Saturday 30 July, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alessio Tacchinardi has officially completed his switch to Spanish outfit Villarreal, ending a decade-long stay at Juventus.
The loan move had been on the cards for the last week, but the official confirmation was only made by the Bianconeri this afternoon.
Midfielder Tacchinardi has spent the last 11 years in Turin and failed to live up to early expectations, losing sight of first team football during Coach Fabio Capello’s tenure.
The Italian international, who turned 30 years of age last Saturday, will stay in La Liga on loan until June 30 2006. His contract with the Bianconeri expires in 2009.
Tacchinardi is the second Juventus player to make his way out to Spain this summer, as Enzo Maresca has moved to Sevilla.
