Juve's best all time XI (part 4)

In the final series of Juve's best all time XI I will talk about the players who made the bench and finally the manager.

Goalkeeper

Gianluigi Buffon

Gigi is our current keeper and a great one at that. With great reflexes and the captains armband you are sure to get a great performance from him.

Defender

Fabio Cannavaro

Fabio is the most capped Italian footballer. Cannavaro was also the captain of the 2006 Italian team that one the World Cup in Berlin.

Defender

Ciro Ferrara

Ciro transfered from Napoli to Juventus and was given a starting place straight away and he didn't lose that starting position for 10 years. He was regarded as one of the best central defenders of his time.

Midfielder

Didier Deschamps

Deschamps was a very strong defensive midfielder who started his sporting career of playing rugby. While at Juve he won 3 Serie A titles, one Coppa Italia, two Italian Super cups, one Champions league and one Intercontinental cup.

Midfielder

Pavel Nedved

This guy called the "Czech Fury" was a very dedicated footballer who was very talented. He was very unlucky not to get in the starting XI as he was a very good player who also won a Ballon D'or while at Juventus.

Attacker

Omar Sivori

This Italian Argentine player was a true force upfront for Juve 135 goals and in 1961 he won the Ballon D'or.

Attacker

John Charles

This Welshman was voted the greatest ever foreign footballer in 1997. He scored an awful lot of 93 goals in 150 apps. He was called the "Il Gigante Buono" for his big appearance yet good personality.

Attacker

Gianluca Vialli

Vialli transfered to Juventus for a World record fee of £12.5 million from Sampdoria in 1992. While at Juve he won the Coppa Italia, Serie A, Italian Supercup, UEFA Champions League and the UEFA cup.


Manager

Giovanni Trapattoni

The current manger of the Republic of Ireland had a great managerial career and for me was Juve's best ever manager. He was manager at the Bianconeri between 1st July 1976 to 30th June 1986. During his time at Juve he set a new European record as he won all the UEFA club competitions.
