Adams ponders job in Italy

Former Arsenal skipper Tony Adams could be about to resurrect his managerial career in Italy, BBC Sport understands.

Adams has been interviewed by Serie B sides Verona and Torino and also spoke to Juventus about the possibility of becoming their defensive coach.

The 38-year-old has made clear his desire to coach abroad in the past - but does not speak a word of Italian.

Adams resigned as Wycombe Wanderers manager last November after a poor start to their League Two campaign.

Adams was in Italy to continue his mentoring work with disgraced former Chelsea striker Adrian Mutu.

The Romanian was banned for seven months last November after testing positive for cocaine and Adams has been helping him get his life back on track since then.

Adams met Juve coach Fabio Capello - who he has described as his managerial hero - to discuss the possibility of continuing to mentor Mutu next season.

And he also discussed the possibility of becoming the club's defensive coach, although he was not subsequently offered the position.

seems strange to think of Adams as Juve's defensive coach doesn't it?

He was a great player, but how could he improve he best defence in Italy anyway?

 

[neath_lad]

you wouldnt think of an english man helping italians on defence lol but he was a great CB.

and he part of that rehab group for players in england and he partly helped mutu, hes a good character to have at the club.

Having Adams around at the club would be good I agree - he was a fantastic professional and an amazing leader.

Don't really know what he would do though?

 

[neath_lad]

i dunno if he would be just a defensive coach or being more interactive with the players but i dont think his italian is good enough to be like that.

he most probadly learn his trade in juve being a defensive coach but i aint to sure but im all for him joining us.

[olkiller]

I want Canna and Thuram to be our future defensive coaches. When they retire of course.

I think it will be good for Juve's image, I guess, Tony Adams is pretty respected, I think, in england so to have an englishmen as a defensive coach or as one of the defensive coaches wouldnt be so bad for me, who knows perhaps it will do Mutu alot of good too.

I didnt like him when he played football :frown: Well not dislike to be exact rather thought he was... I dont know, average. Nothing special.

And a Juve defensive coach must be special.

He'd better stay off the booze though :groan:

Jesus a few nights of Coke and he needs a mentor for 2 years? A little over the top no?
