Dario Knezevic signs for Juventus
Another signing to strengthen Juventus' defence. After securing Olof Mellberg already last January, Claudio Ranieri will now also have 26 year old Croatian international Dario Knezevic, formerly at Livorno, at his disposal.
Born in 1982, Knezevic has played for just two professional clubs up until now: HNK Rijeka, his home town's club, where he played until summer 2006, and Livorno, where he played the last two seasons in Serie A.
Knezevic is a regular in the Croatian national side, and also took part in the recent European Championships in Austria and Switzerland. He was unlucky, though, ending his tournament early due to an injury picked up during the game against Poland. He did manage to get three caps, in the three first stage group games, against Austria, Germany and Poland. He was often partnered by former Juventus player Robert Kovac at the centre of the defence.
In all he has collected 10 caps with Croatia, and has also won two Croatian Cups; at Livorno he has scored four times.
The player will already be presented this afternoon. Indeed a press conference has been scheduled for 3 pm, in Vinovo; it will also be shown live on Juventus Channel.
