Pessotto to see the World Cup trophy
Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro and full-back Gianluca Zambrotta will go to Gianluca Pessotto to show him the World Cup trophy.
The pair paid a visit to the Juventus team manager, who is being treated in a Turin hospital following a suicide attempt, after celebrating the Azzurri’s victory at a huge party at Rome’s Circus Maximus on Monday night.
“He smiled when he saw them come in and seemed particularly happy for their brief visit which lasted five or six minutes,” said hospital chief Prof Pierpaolo Donaldo.
Pessotto, 35, jumped from his office window on 27 June after complaining to his wife he was struggling to adapt to the team manager’s role since retiring as a player in May.
