Ciro Immobile idolized Alessandro Del Piero when the Juventus icon was still playing for the Turin club.
Immobile also trained at the Bianconeri before making a name for himself at other European clubs, but the forward continues to admire Del Piero.
The former striker is now being considered for a leadership role at the club and is a man the fans would love to have back at the Allianz Stadium.
He works as an expert now, but there is no doubt that he will work well at the club having spent around two decades on their books.
Speaking about Del Piero’s return to the club, Immobile said via Calciomercato:
“He is without a doubt my favorite player. With my brother we had the poster in the room, it gave us a lot of joy. Manager? He would see it very well. I was lucky to make my debut in the Champions League and Serie A instead of my idol, it’s the best you can have”
Juve FC says
Del Piero has been one of our best players and he will certainly have the support of the fans if he returns to the club.
We need new leaders who understand what it means to work for the club and who know the culture and demands of the place.
Del Piero is not the only former Juve player to qualify for this role, but we believe he will be up for it.
