Juventus to strengthen their squad following Scudetto win

Following the Scudetto win on Sunday night, with a 2-0 victory over Cagliari at Trieste, Juventus Director General Beppe Marotta has declared that his side will splurge big money ahead of their Champions League campaign next season. Speaking to Radio Anch’io Lo Sport, Marotta said on Monday:

“Two years ago we looked for quantity, now we want to add quality. We are already competitive for the Champions League, but we’ll look for the cherry on top to touch up this fantastic squad.”

Serie A Champions!

Juventus have literally risen from the ashes, as they were demoted to Serie B following their part in Calciopoli after the 2005-06 title winning season. The bianconeris were also stripped off their 2004-05 and 2005-06 titles. Marotta added:

“Everyone knows the history of Juventus. In 2006 we ended up in Hell, we passed through Purgatory and now, with this Scudetto, we are back in Heaven. The re-birth started with the return of Agnelli as President because, behind a winning team, you need a strong club.

“Boss Antonio Conte was our leader and our added value, he’s had an extraordinary campaign. It would be nice to celebrate the season with the Coppa Italia too. It would be the right way to crown the campaign. We will face this task against Napoli, knowing that we will have to honour the shirt of Juventus.”

On being asked about club legend Alex Del Piero’s future with the club, Moratta said:

“The club have already expressed themselves and I don’t want to comment further on it. Today we are celebrating the title, one which Del Piero played an important role in, and we know that he is a champion who has given a lot to this club.”
