Italian giants Juventus, embroiled in ugly match-fixing allegations, have named coach Fabio Capello as their new general manager with responsibility for transfer policy.

Juventus said in a statement that Capello would continue coaching as well as being in charge of the "technical area" and transfer market.

It added that Alessio Secco had been appointed as head of sporting activities.

"From now on, Alessio Secco will be working with Fabio Capello to prepare the next sporting season 2006-2007," Juve chief executive officer Carlo Sant'Albano said.

Secco, 36, former manager and press attache at the club, replaces Luciano Moggi, sacked last week amid the scandal embroiling the Italian champions.

That surprises me,
because at this point no one knows what is going to happen with Juventus!
Imho i guess Juventus wont get the maximum penalty in the national League, except of the heavy image damage of course, because the club is owned by Italy`s biggest employer.
Capello is not running away, hes setting a good example with that!

i might have missed this in the other hundreds of pages about it.

but are they making players take pay cuts, i heard about the stock price drop. surely that will have a significant impact on funding and such?

*edit* i guess the players that really stick through all of this will really show thier loyalty especially if they are required to take pay cuts

I have a feeling that Capello wants to make some weird impact on Juve. Maybe he is bored or something of being coach. Hopefully this all works out.

BTW, we Just signed Cristiano Zanetti (a sinking ship that hires recruits, bravo :)).
