We Can Lose Del Piero, Admits Secco

The Director of Sports of Juventus spoke about the possibility that the Bianconeri do not succeed in reaching an agreement with their captain for a contract renewal.

Alessio Secco, along with the rest of the Old Lady's directors, is enjoying the current moment of Juventus, which he attributes mostly to Coach Claudio Ranieri.

"He has great merit in the results obtained so far," he declared to Sky. "He's a coach who integrates perfectly with Juventus of today and with the directors. There's a great feeling with him."

With regards to the transfer market, Secco is unsure whether the Bianconeri will eventually search for a new defender in January.

"Legrottaglie is doing very well. We shall calmly do an evaluation from now till January, and if things continue this way, there are no reasons to go on the market."

Finally, the Director of Sports of the Bianconeri explained the current situation with Alessandro Del Piero's contract.

"Saying what Del Piero represents for Juventus is unnecessary," he said. "The risk of losing him exists, but we are doing everything we can and we have the intention of reaching an agreement.

"I can say that we are working in the right direction for an agreement and the effort of all parties is finalized for this," Secco continued.

"It's a situation which does not please anyone, but Ranieri has such a character that is not conditioned by anyone and it's fair that it should be this way."
