Italy trio fly in for Pessotto
Alessandro Del Piero, Gianluca Zambrotta and assistant manager Ciro Ferrara left the Azzurri camp to visit Gianluca Pessotto, as more details emerge on his fall from a window.
The recently retired player, who had just been appointed Juventus Team Manager, fell from a height of around 15 metres on to two parked cars at the Juventus headquarters in Corso Galileo Ferraris, Turin. He was conscious and clutching a rosary in his hand.
Pessotto underwent a three-hour operation at the Molinette hospital and the Italy trio flew in with a private plane to visit their former teammate, but he is in an induced coma to help ease his passage through more surgery this evening to reduce the fractures.
“We took him in to stop some internal bleeding,” revealed doctor Marco Repellino. “His condition is stable. It seems as if he fell on his back. He has no cranial lesions, but a microfracture to his jaw. In essence, he fractured his pelvis, his coccyx and some vertebrae. When he came in, he was able to move his legs.” Another medical update is expected tomorrow morning, but Pessotto is considered to be out of danger.
“We are a little more optimistic now, even if the prognosis for a patient with such strong trauma cannot be resolved before 48-72 hours,” added doctor Ottavio Davini this evening.
The reasons behind this mystery fall, which occurred at 11am local time in Turin, are the subject of speculation after unconfirmed reports of treatment for depression or a serious illness. His car keys and mobile phone were found near the window.
“The idea is ridiculous, just like those who sustain it,” slammed Juventus medic Professor Riccardo Agricola.
“I met with Pessotto at half-time of Italy’s match with the Czech Republic in Hamburg,” added FIGC Press Officer Antonello Valentini. “We hugged and he seemed happy. Pessotto has always been a great example for everyone here in terms of competence and professionalism. I really thought this new job at Juventus had given him extra enthusiasm.”
The Bianconeri released a brief statement. “Juventus FC embrace their Team Manager Gianluca Pessotto and cheer him on in this difficult time in the hope to see him back in the side soon.”
The defender is well respected throughout the Italian football community and Inter patron Massimo Moratti also gave his view. “It’s difficult to say anything right now. Pessotto is a good man, certainly a category above most in intellectual terms. His tragedy is something we cannot possibly understand. I hope he gets better and can see life in all its glorious colour again.”

Gianluca Vialli, who comments for SKY during the world cup was crying before the camera. 
Luciano Moggi said that what happened with Gianluca saddens him more than what happened to himself.
The media are speculating on why Gianluca would have 'jumped' (everybody seems to say that it was a suicide attempt). His wife said that he had some difficulties with the pressureof being a team manager.
There are also some reports of arguments with his wife, but nothing that important.
DP, Zambrotta and Ciro already left, and are on the plane back to Duisburg now.
Be strong, Gianluca. The bianconero people are with you

Italy's mood went from jubilant to somber as players and staff heard the news about Pessotto.
Italy had opened its training base to fans to celebrate Monday's last-minute 1-0 win over Australia in the second round and captain Fabio Cannavaro was laughing and joking during a news conference when he heard the news.
Cannavaro's demeanor changed instantly and he excused himself and walked out.
Pessotto attended Italy's 2-0 win over the Czech Republic last week in Hamburg.
"He was here with us the other day," Inter Milan defender Marco Materazzi said. "He's a friend. Many of us have played with him on the national team. We hope he recovers soon, with no damage."
