“As for Conte, I need say very little at the start of a journey that I hope will be as long and victorious as possible.
“Welcome back to Juve, Antonio. Welcome Mister Conte.”
In Italy the Coach is generally referred to as ‘Mister,' so it is a show of respect from Del Piero.
The two men played together at Juve from 1993 to 2004, winning five Scudetto titles and the Champions League.
