As we get for our second match of the Serie A season next Monday away to Sampdoria at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, we take a look back at a star-studded Bianconeri line-up from the 1994/95 1-0 win to see where the players are now!
ANGELO PERUZZI
Legendary Juve shot-stopper, the Italy international goalkeeper remained with the Bianconeri until 1999 before transferring to Inter Milan and then moving onto Lazio where he remained until his retirement, where he was most recently club manager until 2021.
CIRO FERRARA
Juve’s “Mr. Dependable” in defence. Ciro Ferrara continued to play for Juventus in a Bianconeri career spanning over 10 years before finally hanging up his boots in 2005. Ferrara would eventually become Bianconeri boss for a season in 2009/10, going on to have spells in charge of the Italy Under 21s, Sampdoria and most recently Wuhan Zall in 2016/17. Currently, Ferrara serves at a match pundit for DAZN.
MORENO TORRICELLI
From humble beginnings as a part-time footballer and factory worker, you can’t help but love the fairytale story of Moreno Torricelli, who whilst playing for Serie D side, Caratese in a friendly against Juventus, caught the eye of then coach, Giovanni Trappatoni who decided there and then to sign the full-back. After playing for Juventus for six seasons, Torricelli moved onto Fiorentina, then Espanyol before finishing at Arezzo. Nowadays Moreno makes up part of the Juventus Legends team.
MASSIMO CARRERA
Massimo Carrera made a return to Juventus over in 2011, as part of Antonio Conte’s coaching staff, having left the club at the end of the 95/96 season. Departing Turin once more in 2014, Carrera joined Italy’s coaching team for two years before moving to Spartak Moscow, where he won the Russian league in his first season as a manager. Carrera continued his management career, taking the reins at AEK Athens and then most recently at Bari in 2021.
JURGEN KOHLER
Playing what would be his last Sampdoria-Juventus, after leaving the club at the end of the season, Jurgen Kohler became a Borussia Dortmund player where he would remain until his retirement in 2002. After coaching Germany’s U21s, Kohler kept on managing mostly teams in the lower divisions of his homeland, and was most recently interim manager of third division side, Viktoria Koln.
DIDIER DESCHAMPS
In what was his first season at Juventus, the man marshalling the Bianconeri engine room, Didier Deschamps went on to win almost every title with the club. The World Cup winner left in the summer of 1999 and would return to Juve less than 10 years later for a single season as manager in the 2006-07 campaign. Having also managed Monaco and Marseille in his homeland, Didier answered the call of his country to lead them as coach in 2012, eventually leading France to a World Cup win in 2018 and is currently in charge of Les Bleus.
ANGELO DI LIVIO
The little soldier went onto serve Juve well, winning multiple titles in the black and white of Juventus. Angelo Di Livio departed Turin in 1999 to join Fiorentina, where he remained until the end of his playing days in 2005. Following stints in the coaching set-ups at Roma and the Italian national team, Di Livio currently does punditry work, as well as occasionally turning out for the Juventus Legends team.
GIANCARLO MAROCCHI
Giancarlo Marocchi spent eight years in total with the Bianconeri, having begun his career with Bologna, before ending it there in 2000. The Emilia-Romanian native, who racked up over 200 appearances for Juventus, initially spent time in the set-up at Bologna in various roles following his retirement and is now a technical commentator for Sky Sport Italia.
GIANLUCA VIALLI
The matchwinner with the game’s only goal in this fixture and team captain at the time, Gianluca Vialli would go on to net a total of 53 goals in 145 matches for the Bianconeri, lifting the Champions League trophy in his final outing for Juventus in Rome, in 1996. Moving onto Chelsea, Vialli would eventually manage the London outfit for one and a half years, before his last managerial stint at Watford for the 2001/02 season. In November 2019, he became part of Roberto Mancini’s Italy coaching staff, helping lead the Azzurri to the Euro 2020 title, with Vialli still part of Mancini’s team.
ALESSANDRO DEL PIERO
A true Juventus legend, Alessandro Del Piero is synonymous with the Bianconeri, having spent 19 years at the club, leaving as both the all-time top scorer and record appearance holder in 2012. After short spells at Sydney FC and Delhi Dynamos, Del Piero hung up his boots retiring to Los Angeles. Most recently a guest at Juventus’ Summer Tour in the United States, Del Piero is regularly a pundit on Sky Sports Italia.
FABRIZIO RAVANELLI
“The White Feather” finished the 94/95 campaign as Juventus’ top scorer, netting a total of 30 goals. Like Vialli, Fabrizio Ravanelli departed the Bianconeri the following season, having scored in the Champions League final. Ravanelli would go onto to have a well-travelled playing career, including spells in England, France and Scotland, as well as back in his native Italy, where he retired at hometown club, Perugia in 2005. After spells in management at Ajacco and Arsenal Kyiv, Ravanelli is firmly back at the Bianconeri as an ambassador for the Juventus Legends.
