Former Juventus Coach Didier Deschamps has broken his silence to explain why he resigned on the same day as winning the Serie B title.

“I have had a very difficult season despite the excellent results achieved with my players and staff,” he told 'Radio Monte Carlo.’

“Then I analysed the situation and decided to hand in my resignation on Wednesday evening.”

The reports of his decision to quit emerged late Friday night and Juventus had released a statement denying there had been a formal resignation on Saturday.

However, on Saturday evening the club announced it had terminated his contract by mutual consent.

“The problem was not that I wanted to decide on everything, it was a number of different factors,” added DD.

“It is true that I had difficulty this year and wanted to know how we were going to be organised next season which, I am convinced, will be very tough.

“There is a lot to be done and the fans’ expectations are high. A Coach needs to work in a relaxed atmosphere and, looking carefully at the situation, I made this decision that I consider to be in my best interests.”

There were well-known clashes with director of sport Alessio Secco and Deschamps publicly criticised the club’s transfer strategy.

Yet he took Juventus back into Serie A despite a nine-point penalty in the wake of their demotion in the Calciopoli scandal.

“I am satisfied, happy and proud to have taken Juventus back into football’s elite. I feel that I have in part been able to give back what this club gave to me when I was a player.”

There are now reports that Deschamps walked away so that he could replace Gerard Houllier at Lyon.

“I did not want to talk to other clubs while I was still under contract. It was a matter of respect,” explained the Frenchman.

“My ambition is to lead a top side next season. Now I am available again, we will see over the next few days and weeks what proposals arrive.

“I want a squad that plays to win, but I do not wish to negotiate with clubs that already have a Coach.”

Other options suggested by the media include Marseille, Chelsea and Arsenal.

I get a feeling that he was not sure he could have given us what we wanted.. Wich is atleast a top 4..! I might be wrong...

You should be our official source of news :toast:

Just a thought: Why didn't DD wait until the season is over? Was it because Lyon is putting pressure on him in regards of a decision? Nevertheless, all parties acted unprofessionally...in any way. :faq1:

I think we shouldn't jump into conclusion before knowing everything clearly...
what makes u think, that DD has already a negotiation with Lyon?!
He already denied that he talked to anyone while he was at Juve...

There was no point in staying as Juve has already won the league. Nothing left to play for so better off going seperate ways and getting on with planning for the future.

No problem my friend...

 

[Ahmed]

maybe Juve have already decided on the new coach...season is pretty much over so they would like to get him in with the team...learn his ideas strategies and possible transfer targets...Juve are competing more than ever now for top players so we better start early in the transfer market

I never said he pulled a Crapello. Now you can call me irrational, but I'd like to you see prove, using official statements, that Deschamps WAS in fact fired. Because all I said is that he wasn't. How exactly do you plan to counter my observation?

Nobody here said or agreed that Deschamps was fired. I was just under the impression (not by you specifically but there were a string of posts) that some believed that Deschamps leaving was purely his decision, whereas it's obvious the BODs played a part in it too. The whole situation just seems silly to me. If the BODs decided to hire Deschamps for the Serie B job wouldn't it be sensible to plan Juve's comeback under Deschamps as well, at least for one season in A anyway? Juve said it herself, Deschamps was supposed to be an integral part of a 3 yr plan. So why would Deschamps get cold feet now when Juventus is back in Serie A? He knew what he signed on for the moment he penned his contract. It just doesnt make sense. Deschamps completed his part of the deal which is to bring Juve back up. I can't seem to find any reason why he would want to leave Juve after that. Perhaps he resigned because he knew for some unfathomable reason he was gonna get sacked anyway. If this was the case, I dont understand what the BODs plans are, changing coaches now. It looks like there has been 'change of plans', which to me is probably unjust since Deschamps signed on for the 3 yr plan.


Ugh. Football and politics

Those words make me think he wasn't ready to deal with the pressure of having to get Juve at least to the top 4, also. And he's right... whoever coaches Juve next season better be ready to handle the constant pressure of getting Juventus back to the top, where they belong. It won't be an easy job, but that comes with being Juve's coach. It's not something every coach can handle.

I believe that DD is both ambitious and realistic coach. He also have a very strong personality as a coach through which no player have ever comments on his coaching method. Being a coach of a great team have never been easy and I believe that DD have done that extremely well by putting the team together and bringing us back to Serie A.
But what is past is past. Forza DD

There it is again - the clubs transfer policy! DD moulded the team into one that could get promotion to serie A and knows that it is going to be hard to stay in A, never mind trying to get a european place, which he knows the fans want.

I think Sallyinzaghi is right! The BoDs are "playing a part". I bet they're looking to sell off as many of our players as they can to get money for them! I know everyone is blaming Secco, but I think the BoDs are putting financial restraints on the team not just for buying players, but for keeping who we have too! I think they're wanting to make money by selling and that could have catastrophic consequences on Juventus's ability to stay in serie A, never mind getting a place in Europe, which is what I believe DD wanted to aim for; - to try and give us fans what we want!

That's what I'm fearing the most...

 

[Juve_Kosova]

The BOD knows that if Juve dont end in top4 next season there ass is gonna get fired..! So they better get a world class coach!.. [ Lippi ]

 

[Ahmed]

true very true...

 

[David01]

Bollocks, I refuse to believe that the willinly undermine their own team.
I think they offered Didi a new deal that he turned down because he wants to go to Lyon. This is an established team that will instantly compete for CL-silverware.
It might take a couple of years for Juve.

 

[Ahmed]

o yea they were gonna win the Scudetto/get to CL by signing "world-class" players like Mesto and Iaquinta...
