The Bianconeri faithful must give them credit and time, but it is understandable to question the abilities of the Old Lady's new men.
Marotta has done a very good job at Sampdoria by signing the likes of Giampaolo Pazzini, Antonio Cassano and many others. He is definitely more experienced than former Juve sporting director Alessio Secco, but would anyone rate him as highly as Luciano Moggi? I doubt it.
Del Neri also did a superb job at Marassi, shaping a team capable of beating Roma, Inter, Milan and Juventus as they proved this term. Still, I believe there were a bunch of managers who could have been far more appealing and the list includes Guus Hiddink, who was forced to refuse the job last December in front of the amateurish negotiations of Secco and Jean-Claude Blanc.
Marotta has already explained that this Juventus side needs evolution and not revolution. I agree with him on that as there are several players who could rediscover themselves next season. Juve have a good squad, they just need to strengthen it and add quality to it.
But the list of players who could do better probably does not include star man Diego, who will be penalised by Del Neri's 4-4-2 strategy. If the Bianconeri let go of the Brazilian so easily then I think they will commit a big mistake.
The former Werder ace just needs talented teammates to play with in order to prove himself. That said he will probably go and so will Gigi Buffon – it won't be easy to replace either of them.
So will next season be a successful one for Juve? It is too early to say but the future doesn't look too bright and you must wonder whether the Bianconeri are moving forward or backwards.
Calciopoli and demotion to Serie B really damaged one of Italy's strongest sides. Juve used to be coached by the likes of Marcello Lippi, Carlo Ancelotti and Fabio Capello. In recent years they have switched to Claudio Ranieri, Ciro Ferrara, Alberto Zaccheroni and ultimately Del Neri.(football-italia)
