(GSM) – Former Juventus defender Claudio Gentile has revealed that Luigi Del Neri was always favourite to become the new coach of the Turin based giants.
59-year-old Del Neri, who left Sampdoria on Monday, is set to take over at Juve after their dismal season.
“I never listen to papers because most of the times they get it wrong,” claimed Gentile.
“Everybody knew Beppe Marotta and Gigi Del Neri would have joined Juventus, all the rest is just paper talk.
“I think they both deserve faith because they have done really well at Sampdoria. It looks like it could be the right choice.
“Cesare Prandelli was always tied to Fiorentina. I believe Del Neri will do well for the club.
“The fans can be happy about this because Del Neri is a good manager. I think the board did not hesitate to sign him.
“We will see what they will do in the transfer market but it also depends on the budget. Marotta is experienced and he will know what to do.”
