Walter Zenga reveals his father and son are Juventus supporters

Former Inter Milan goalkeeper Walter Zenga has spoken about the split in his family that sees his father and son support Juventus but his other children also support Inter.

The Milan-born former player and manager appeared in 328 league games for Inter before brief spells at Sampdoria and Padova.

He remains one of the legendary goalkeepers in Italian soccer and has managed a handful of clubs as a manager.

Considering he was born in Milan, one would expect his father to support a club from the city, but Zenga says his father was a Juve fan along with his first son.

He tells Corriere della Sera via Tuttojuve: “He missed Juventus. When Inter-Juve was there there was a problem: if we lost I would get angry, I would cry. My first son Jacopo is also black and white, we are a strange family. But the other four children are on my side.”

Juve FC says

Juve is the biggest club in Italian football and has historically been one of the best in the country.

This makes it much easier for people to support them and we can see even the children of legends from other clubs pitching their black and white tents.
