Deschamps backs 'hungry’ Juve
Former Juventus Coach Didier Deschamps has backed the Old Lady as Scudetto challengers and discussed his exit last summer.
The French tactician guided the Old Lady back to Serie A from the Cadetti, but he left Turin on a sour note after relations with the board became untenable.
“Was I angry at leaving? No as I had done what I had to do,” Deschamps told Sky Sport Italia.
“I was disappointed, but that’s normal when you leave somewhere. I was at fault too. I need to become more flexible as I am only young and a little too rigid.”
It seems that there are no hard feelings on the former midfielder’s part as he is impressed with Claudio Ranieri’s team and hopes they can continue to assert themselves.
“Juve are contenders and they have already shown it with the results they have picked up at the start of the season,” he insisted.
“I think that the Bianconeri have a unique mentality – a winning mentality that they have always had.
“You can win games without being the strongest side on paper as a hunger for victory can compensate for tactical and technical weaknesses.
“Juve have quality, but it’s the mindset that can make the difference in tough times.
“For the players and the fans I hope that Juve return to the European stage because this is a club built to win. Everyone there wants to see the return of a victorious Juve.”
Deschamps also paid tribute to former teammate and last season’s star man Alessandro Del Piero.
“Del Piero has given so much to the club,” he said. “Last year he was extraordinary and he hit so many goals. He isn’t 25 any longer, but Del Piero will always be 25 and he’s loved so much despite his criticism.”
The ex-Monaco man concluded the interview by revealing his desire to get back into the game.
“I will return to coaching next season if not before,” he declared.
