Nedved an Italian at heart
Pavel Nedved is not yet sure whether he’ll continue playing next season, but whatever his decision, his future remains in Italy.
“I have promised to tell Juventus my decision before June 30,” revealed the veteran midfielder from a charity tournament in his hometown of Skaina.
The 2003 Golden Ball winner had already considered hanging up his boots after the World Cup, but opted to stay on to help salvage Juve from Serie B.
Now that the side has returned to the top flight, he could continue for another term under new Coach Claudio Ranieri.
Turin-based newspaper 'Tuttosport’ claims today that Nedved has decided to play on for the 2007-08 season, even though he will turn 35 in August.
Even if he does retire, the Czech hero has assured he will continue his rapport with Juventus, as he will be offered a job in the youth academy.
“My children’s home is Turin,” he told the Czech media. “My ideal solution would be to live in my home country for six months and the other six over there, but it is not possible because my children go to school in Italy and have all their friends there.”
Meanwhile, Juve have released a statement after Marco Tardelli said he would resign from the Board of Directors after the Under-21 European Championship.
A terse note simply read: "We take note of Tardelli's resignation."
