Del Piero: ‘Exciting Scudetto race’

Alex Del Piero hopes to see “an even more exciting” Serie A this year, and hints he could return to Juventus.

The Bianconeri legend captained them to the first of their six consecutive Scudetti, and sat down with Radio Deejay to discuss this year’s title race.

“For me [Coach Max] Allegri’s team remain a step above the others because of what they’ve done in recent years,” Del Piero said.

“They’ve had a less flashy transfer campaign than the others, but they’ve tended towards strengthening an already strong team.
