“A special thank you to my children and my wife for the support they gave me during these years of study and the beautiful surprises they gave me today in Florence by showing up for the presentation of my thesis, which encapsulates an integral part of my professional and personal experiences as well as may vision of football and the role of the coach.”

Del Piero is currently working as a Serie A and Champions League pundit for Sky Sport Italia and CBS Sports.

He’s the Juventus player with the most goals and appearances in a Bianconeri shirt and won the 2006 World Cup with the Italy national team.

His personal trophy cabinet also includes six Serie A titles, one Coppa Italia, four Supercoppa Italiana and one Champions League.

Del Piero practically spent his entire playing career at Juventus, except for two seasons in Serie B at Padova from 1991 to 1993, two at Sydney FC (2012 to 2014), and one at Delhi Dynamos.

He’s the fourth-best scorer for the Italy national team with 27 goals in 91 games.
