Serie A Live

Juventus is one of the oldest and most successful clubs in Italian football history. Also called the old lady, the club has won the maximum number of titles in Serie A and has also performed admirably in Europe.

 
Key Players
 

With no new names being signed on by new boss Ciro Ferrara, Juve will once again rely on the aging legs of skipper Alessandro Del Piero and David Trezeguet to get them the goals. With the multi-talented Amauri shaping up nicely, it does look like Juventus are ready to challenge for top honors this season.

 

Vicenzo Iaquinta and Momo Sissoko will be other players to watch out for this season.

 
2009-10 Season
 

The departure of ex-boss Claudio Ranieri and the arrival of Ciro Ferrara last season were the highlights of what was yet another disappointing season for the Turin club.

However the club can look forward to a good season in 2009-10 as they have tightened up their defense following the arrival of Martin Caceres from Barcelona on a season-long loan deal.

 

There are rumors that Christian Poulsen is headed to the Premier League, but boss Ferrara has insisted he is not for sale.

 
History
 

After being formed in 1897 by a group of teenagers, the club followed a steady rise to win their first championship before the First World War. Soon after, however, the aforementioned war and several personal problems led to a slight downfall in the team’s success.

 
 

However, in 1923 Edoardo Agnelli took over the team. Under his direction and leadership, Juventus began to lay the foundations of their future success. All in all, the team won six championships under Agnelli before the Second World War began, including five in a row. And the rest has been, as they say, history. All in all, Juventus FC has won an unbelievable 27 championships in their 110 year history and have finished in second place another 19 times. They have also won seven UEFA sponsored international events to further supplement their sparkling history.

 

Juventus FC plays at the Stadio delle Alpi. While this is the home for Juventus players for Serie A games, temporarily they played elsewhere during their exile in Serie B. In the 2007-08 season, however, Juventus made a triumphant return to the Stadio delle Alpi in which they have played in since 1990. This stadium is able to hold near sixty-eight thousand fans on a nightly basis. However, the poor location of the stadium sometimes causes Juventus to have less-than-full houses at games. In fact, on three separate occasions in the last ten years, Juventus has had less than a thousand fans in their football matches.

Unfortunately for Juventus, recent years have not been very beneficial to the club. After winning the live Serie A title twice, the team was subsequently accused of fixing matches and committing other illegal on-the-field acts to win games. Behind the scenes, the manager had reportedly paid off or threatened referees to help Juventus win matches. Along with three other teams they were eventually found guilty of this charge. The punishments were severe. Not only was the team stripped of two of their hard-fought championships, they were also relegated to Serie B. The latter act caused many marquee players to jump ship for teams playing in the countries top league.

 

On the bright side, however, Juventus FC did not take their relegation and pout and moan for very long. A stellar first season in Serie B saw Juventus not only ensure they would once again be in the big league again the next season, but also saw them win the Serie B title. While this accomplishment may seem small and worthless, the truth is that it is exactly what the club needed. With such a large scandal hanging over their head, the team’s success in the second league indicated that Juventus had recovered from their recent past troubles and were ready to contend again.

 

With years of managerial experience, Claudio Ranieri was an ideal choice to lead the team in their drive to return the previous dizzy heights of domestic and European trophy winners. The former Chelsea boss whose popularity with both players and fans did not endear him to owner Roman Abramovich and who was affectionately nicknamed the Tinker man ,subsequently left Stamford Bridge and returned to management in Italy, with Parma. A short but successful stint allowed Parma to avoid what seemed an interminable slide towards relegation and the post-season announcement that Ranieri would be leaving the club was followed almost immediately by his installation in the Juve hot seat.

 

But last season was a tough one for Ranieri, who was eventually replaced by Ferrara with just a handful of games left to finish the season.
