(ianluii )u*on, to name a few. +he club has shown remarable rit and

determination in bouncin bac from the devastatin match "-in scandal that

hit Italian #ootball in 00/, and has returned to the position of dominance that it

had rown accustomed to in the Serie A.

+he ld 1ad! won the 02324 season in particularl! menacin form, notchin up

a record 20 points, losin onl! ames en route. ne man who has been

credited with this ama5in feat is Antonio 6onte, their outoin manaer of 3

!ears. A master tactician and a former Juventus mid"elder, he led Juventus to

titles in all the seasons under his watch. 7e is larel! credited with ivin the

Juventus mid"eld a de"nite shape and a lot of venom and intent, main it the

drivin force of the team. (ifted with remarable technical acumen and

awareness, he was able to instil in the pla!ers a searin desire to succeed.+ain over in 022, 6onte was able to 8uicl! reali5e the issues with the current

s8uad, a wea left bac for instance, and reorani5e to its strenths, comin up

with a 3: that paid rich dividends with time$ in 02324 the bac 3 had let in

losin his "rst match in chare and drawin the ne-t. )ut he has shown his

abilit! to learn 8uicl!, switchin from a lea! 4 man defense in the "rst ame,

to the tried and tested 3 man bacline in the second, which resulted in an

improved performance.

It is alwa!s di?cult tain control of a successful orani5ation as Juventus.

room for error. @avid %o!es learnt it the hard wa! at %anchester nited. 7is

detractors are alread! drawin parallels to Inter %ilan>s slump followin Jose
