Gianluca Pessotto, the new Juventus team manager, is fighting for his life after a freak accident in Turin this morning.
Reports suggest that the former defender, who only retired from the game this summer, fell from a second floor window at the club’s headquarters in Corso Galileo Ferraris.
Pessotto has been rushed to the Molinette hospital with what, at this stage, seem to be serious injuries.
The former Torino player was only appointed as team manager this month after Alessio Secco was promoted to sporting director.
The news has also reached the Italian national team camp in Germany today.
Captain Fabio Cannavaro, a teammate and friend, left a media conference this morning when told of the incident.
I know this isn't about LFC, but thought i'd post it here because it seems (if the Italian rumour mill is to be believed) that Juventus are going to be relegated and have their league title given to Inter. Although its reported as an accident, Pessotto is alleged to have jumped.
so please no Italian diving jokes if you please
but seriously, i hope the guy recovers ok.
“You cannot transfer the heart and soul of Liverpool Football Club, although I am sure there are many clubs who would like to buy it.”
Another article I read said he had jumped from the roof and was found clutching a rosary, so I've based my opinion off of that. Feel bad for the fellow. Also they said 15 meters.
cannavaro and delpiero have flew home to be with him, apparently he was suffering from depression...hmmmmmmm sounds fishy to me...did he jump or was he pushed Maybe he knew too much
He is not involved in the scandal though. I think juve have a decent chance of being relegated. They have to if italian football is to start again. Would'nt mind nicking 1 or 2 of their players.
