Deschamps: 'I regret quitting Juve'

By Football Italia staff

France manager Didier Deschamps admits “it was a mistake” to leave Juventus after their promotion to Serie A.

The Coach took over at Juve in 2006-07, when the club was demoted to Serie B in the Calciopoli scandal.

Despite helping them to promotion, he opted to leave in 2007.

“I left because of differences in transfer strategy with the directors they had at the time, but we had already been promoted into Serie A,” Deschamps told France Inter.

“I wanted one great signing per area of the team, while they wanted to rebuild the squad with mediocre buys. At the end of the day, obviously they won.

“In any case, my resignation was a mistake. Going back, I wouldn’t do it again.”
