The new Juventus is already taking shape after Coach Marcello Lippi confirmed he will quit the club.
The tactician revealed yesterday that he would be leaving the outfit and the Italian media are already speculating on what kind of Juve to expect next season.

Whispers suggest that an official announcement could already be made sometime next week.
Prandelli, who was a midfielder with the Turin giants, is set to bring with him a host of his current players.
Striker Alberto Gilardino will be signed as a probable replacement for David Trezeguet. The Frenchman is on his way to Barcelona.
Juve will also swoop for Under-21 defender Daniele Bonera and will recall Manuele Blasi after his loan spell at the Stadio Tardini ends.
Italian stopper Matteo Ferrari is also a probable new arrival after a string of fine performances for the Gialloblu this term.
Players on their way out of Turin seem to include Mark Iuliano and Igor Tudor. Paolo Montero may also be axed.
The club are also willing to release Lilian Thuram and Pavel Nedved, the European Footballer of the Year, if a substantial bid is tabled.
Prandelli is set to use a 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 system with the Old Lady next season.
