Still no official destination, but confirmation that Del Piero's is a farewell to Juventus and the Italian championship, but not to football. “I haven't taken any road yet, for sure what will be the choice will be optimal for me. It's not about playing in the Champions League or second tier leagues, it's about choosing the most ideal situation possible regarding challenging opportunities," he said. the former captain and number 10 of Juve, black and white flag for 19 years, during a press conference in Turin for the presentation of a commercial initiative.
All roads seem to lead overseas again, perhaps to the US championship (as anticipated by first online), where Del Piero would find the possibility of playing again as a protagonist, without too much pressure but certainly with a good contract, and the opportunity to have an interesting life experience for him and his family. "It will certainly be an experience abroad, and my family will follow me with times and ways that we will see", reiterated Del Piero, who has also dismissed at the moment the hypothesis of going behind the desk:”For now I've only talked about myself as a footballer. There are too many ifs to say if I will be a manager at Juve, having never thought about the possibility of being a manager, it seems to me something too futuristic. My future at the moment is as a player."
The playmaker from Veneto then returned to talk about his last, triumphant season, which allowed him to round off his inimitable adventure in black and white, definitively banishing the sad memory of Serie B and bringing Juventus back to the throne of the championship, where it was missing. also considering the revoked championships, in any case for 7 years. For Del Piero, 28 championships or 30 changes little: “Winning the Scudetto was the best. You know how much I love to win. Then came that greeting in Turin that gave me the creeps. I will never stop thanking those who gave me that tribute”.
Finally, the closure as a true champion. To those who asked him why he opposed the withdrawal of the number 10 shirt, the Juventus legend replied: “I hope that Juve's number 10 weighs as little as possible. I wish that whoever wears it will have a career as glorious as mine, if not even more so. I've done so much with this shirt that I wish everyone would. I think we shouldn't take away any child's dream of being able to wear that shirt one day."
