I try to understand all the smiles and the happy words but I can't...
the man tried to killed himself, and the thoughts of what the hell happened there are "killing" me too.
Maybe I sound a bit controversial, but something is wrong in this whole story and I'm seem to be the only one in this thread to mention that.

well first of all his health is most important atm. Mentally and physically and he is getting there.
I guess along the line later on everyone will get to know wat happend.As now he is communicating much with the media.
Mybe there isnt an any controversy, mybe he was just very depressed and it got to him.Timing is weird though.

Well, mentall health problems usually stem from more than one factor in the person's life. I don't know if there was any personal/home life problems, but career wise I can instantly think of a few reasons for his depression.
1) His football career was over - that was part of his life for so long. He played rarely since crapello took over as Juve coach. I'm no footballer, but if I were it would make me depressed.
2) Did Capello have something to do with his decision to stop playing? Del Piero's relationship with crapello was known to be bad & he let it be known, on crapello's departure, that other players disliked him & were unhappy too! Look how Tachi had to move because he wasn't in crapello's plans. Perhaps, Pesso's relationship with him was so bad that he decided to retire from playing instead of extending his contract for another year. Perhaps he did this because he wanted to stay with Juve rather than go elsewhere like Tachi. (I think he took this job before crapello announced the good news that he was going to RM.)
3) Juve players are professionals - they exercise in the gym & on the pitch 5/6 times a week. Exercise causes the brain to produce serotonin, which gives you a feel good factor. Changing from an "exercise regime" to a desk job, would obviously cause a drop in serotonin, which means the subsequent "feel good" factor had either gone or was greatly reduced. this could cause depression or be a contributary factor.
4) A new job - moving into a new job could be a factor - in Pesso's case, it was a complete change of job. He had never had a "desk job" before. Clerical work is not physically demanding, & some clerical jobs can be boring with not enough to do. It depends on the position you're in & how busy your company is, but "a desk job", as Pesso calls it, can be mentally & emotionally stressful. Juventus was hit by the Calciopoli crisis at the time Pesso took up his new job, which meant that: -
a) He was thrown into the deep end despite his lack of experience.
b) It was most unlikely that anyone was available to help him, if he needed to be shown what to do.
c) In every new job you need someone to help you/show you the ropes. Even people who have done similar work for another company needs this. Did Pesso get this help? I don't think so. Everyone was running around trying to cope with their new jobs.
d) Because everyone else was running around like bafs, trying to sort out the mess, that the resignations caused, Pesso probably felt that he didn't like to ask for help, even though he was struggling. I believe I am right here because Raina, his wife said something to this effect, in the first few days of Pesso's hospitalisation.
I don't know how much of what I've said is true in Pesso's case, & I don't know of any other factor in his life that may have contributed. I am merely sharing my opinion as to what caused Pesso to be so depressed. Please feel free to discuss.

Former Bianconeri defender and director Pessotto paid a visit to the club headquarters from the nearby Fornaca clinic where he is continuing the recovery process.
Pessotto was fighting for his life over the summer after falling from the roof of the Juventus offices in a suicide attempt.
He arrived in his wheelchair accompanied by wife Reana and friend Marco Durante before meeting directors Blanc, Giovanni Cobolli Gigli and Alessio Secco in the trophy room.
Good news! Forza Pesso!!!!

I`m happy that Luca is giving the fight.
On june 27 he didnt want to fight anymore (remember he was under pschyatric supervision)
Since then he is fighting , giving the hardest fight a human being can give, the fight for life.
So let me feel happy when the man is getting everyday closer to a normal life.
I can tell you, and in this Im talking for a personal experience when you have a dissease call depression everything goes bigger than it is, every little detail that in normal life can be trivial become a matter of life and death. And some day you find yourself in so much pain the only thing you can see is that, the pain inside is so hard, it hurts so much you just want it to stop, and you end hurting yourself.
May be for a healthy person is hard to understand.
But for someone who´s been there. Is not that hard.
I understand luca.
I dont judge him.
I care about him.
Wife of Juventus manager says husband wasn't trying to kill himself

ROME (AP) -The wife of the Juventus team manager who fell from a window at team headquarters insists her husband blacked out and wasn't attempting suicide.
Gianluca Pessotto sustained multiple fractures June 27. He was released from the hospital Sept. 5 and is recovering at a clinic.
Italian media described the fall as a suicide attempt and said Pessotto was depressed. A game-fixing scandal - with Juventus figuring prominently - was engulfing Italian soccer at the time, although Pessotto was not implicated.
"He didn't want to jump out. The doctors explained to me that it was a blackout,'' wife Reana Pessotto told Donna Moderna magazine in a story to be published Thursday. "Something disconnected in his mind that morning. If he was lucid, he would never have done it.''
This was her first interview since her husband's fall, and excerpts were released Wednesday.
"He would never have left the children,'' she said. "Even he isn't able to comprehend how it happened. He doesn't remember anything from that day. The police and fire department reports say he slipped.''
Reana Pessotto said her husband was not suffering from depression.
"He went to a psychologist like a lot of other people with stressful jobs that are under the spotlight,'' she said. "He needed support. Evidently, under his calm and evenhanded demeanor, there was a vulnerable part.''
Pessotto, a former Juventus and Italy player, made a surprise visit in his wheelchair to the team's headquarters Friday.

According to the medics, Gianluca Pessotto did not try to kill himself on the 27th of June, this was revealed by Pessotto's wife, Reana.
"My husband did not want to jump. The doctors explained to me that it was a black out.
"Something had disconnected itself in his brain that morning. Now I'm more serene, our daily life has re-started. The children go to school... in other words I do the usual things."
Reana does not remember much from that particular day.
"They called me from Juventus, telling me that Gianluca was in hospital. I didn't know what happened. I don't remember who called me, the first days were empty.
"I was under shock, I found back the strength to eat, dress-up, going out of the house only after three weeks, when the girls, who were with their grandparents, came back home."
Pessotto is feeling much better and he left hospital in the past weeks, where he also visited the Juventus headquarters.
