The 2010/11 season for the Juventus youth sector is characterised by new faces. Besides the new personal responsible Giovanni Rossi, the first teams to have started training were those of the new coaches who arrived in Turin this summer. After the Primavera entrusted to Giovanni Bucaro, it is now the time of the Giovanissimi Nazionali entrusted to Claudio Gabetta.

From Tortona in Alessandria and born in 1964, he has had a long career as a Serie C footballer with over 300 appearances made. As coach, he began the adventure as deputy coach in prestigious clubs such as Siena, Cosenza, Cagliari and Castel di Sangro moving on to coaching the Senior Squads of Voghera, Teramo, Legnano, Benevento and Mezzocorona and also the Primavera of Fiorentina.

Now he is about to begin his adventure with the Giovanissimi Nazionali squad of Juventus. «It is an honour for me to join a club like Juventus – confessed Gabetta during his first interview on Juventus Channel. I must thank Giovanni Rossi and Gianluca Pessotto who were exceptional with me and gave this opportunity».

Gabetta will be coaching a group of youngsters born in 1996 and who are ready for an intensive season. «The youngsters I will be coaching are at an important and delicate age but I am motivated and ready to transmit all my charge to them. I believe very much in the work with youngsters. Recently, especially after the World Cup, a lot was said about this. I think that with the youths we must rediscover the roots of Italian football, taking less notice of the results and trying to work on technique and tactics. This we must do while remembering that besides the players we must also raise men».
