Donadoni leads Juve race
Sunday 4 June, 2006
Roberto Donadoni is the new hot favourite to replace Fabio Capello at the Juventus helm and confirms he’d gladly take the job.
“I have only read about their interest in me in the newspapers. Of course, I can’t help but he happy about such a story,” said the former Milan player.
With strong reports Capello has agreed a move to Real Madrid if Ramon Calderon wins the Presidential elections, or if Juventus are relegated to Serie B as part of the Calciopoli scandal, the race is on to find a successor.
While Didier Deschamps was the early favourite and Alberto Zaccheroni has also put himself forward for the role, the new front-runner according to the Italian Press is ex-Livorno boss Donadoni.
“Juventus are a great club, among the most prestigious in the world, and that is true regardless of what happens at the end of the investigation,” he continued.
“I don’t think the job would depend on their demotion, as it wouldn’t be a problem for me to Coach in Serie B, but there’s probably another 150 tacticians who think the same way.”
Former midfielder Donadoni started his Coaching career at Lecco in 2001-02 in Serie C1, then had two spells at Livorno split by a brief yet eventful time at Genoa.
He took the Amaranto to eighth place in 2004-05, but resigned this season after President Aldo Spinelli criticised him on television despite the fact they were comfortably in sixth position.
