Trevisani’s endorsement goes beyond nostalgia for Del Piero’s legendary playing career. He highlights the former captain’s unique blend of qualities that make him perfectly suited to lead Juventus today.
According to Trevisani, Del Piero embodies four key traits essential for the role: belonging, credibility, elegance, and capability. First and foremost is belonging. Del Piero is the living embodiment of Juventus’ history, values, and identity.
Few people in the world of football represent the club’s DNA as authentically as he does. This deep connection means he would lead with genuine passion and understanding.

Next is credibility. Over two decades of an exemplary career built a global reputation that earns respect and authority. Del Piero’s integrity and consistency make him a trusted figure not just in Italy but internationally.
Trevisani also emphasizes Del Piero’s sense of style and class, describing his grace and elegance on and off the pitch. This refined presence has helped maintain Juventus’ prestige around the world, something that’s often overlooked but crucial in representing a top club.
Finally, there is capability. Since retiring, Del Piero has demonstrated strong leadership as an entrepreneur and commentator. His professional experience outside football shows he can handle complex responsibilities, making him well-equipped for the president’s demanding role.

While Juventus’ ownership is reportedly considering more traditional managerial candidates, Del Piero’s popular appeal continues to grow. He was recently seen at the stadium supporting the team during a match against Atalanta, reinforcing his enduring bond with the club and its fans.
Trevisani’s public backing has reignited a long-held hope among Juventus supporters. The dream of seeing their iconic former captain return in a leadership role feels closer than ever — a symbol of continuity, pride, and ambition for the future of the Old Lady.
