Gigi Delneri of Juventus says goodbye to the Old Lady in quotes at il Corriere dello Sport:

«Il prossimo anno la Juventus avrà un nuovo allenatore. Il crollo di gennaio ha cambiato tutta la stagione... MI AVEVANO CHIESTO SUBITO LO SCUDETTO»

"Next year, there will be a new manager at Juventus... The collapse in January changed the whole season...They (club directors) asked me to win the Scudetto immediately."

James Pallotta of AS Roma isn't worried about missing next year's UEFA Champions League and also drops a hint about the transfer market with quotes at il Corriere dello Sport:

«Nessun problema, noi abbiamo i soldi... Il mercato? Potete chiedere a DiBenedetto alla fine del campionato, e dopo la finale di Champions saprete tutto. Sarete felici».

"It's no problem. We have the money."

"The transfer market? You can ask DiBenedetto at the end of the season and the Champions League final and then you'll know everything. You all will be happy."

Clarence Seedorf of AC Milan on his Rossoneri future in a quote with il Corriere dello Sport:

"L'incontro di oggi è andato bene, non si sa se resto al Milan, però è stata una bella riunione, molto amichevole, ci incontreremo la prossima settimana di nuovo."

"Today's discussion went well. One doesn't know if I'll stay at Milan but it was a great meeting. Very friendly."

Adriano Galliani of AC Milan on Seedorf's future in il Corriere dello Sport:

"Vediamo la prossima settimana. Lui deve parlare con l'allenatore, si tratta di un problema tecnico, perchè dal punto di vista economico siamo ben avviati. Lui vuole giocare domenica, e il Milan vuole onorare gli impegni. Sulla durata siamo d'accordo per un anno".

"Let's see next week. He has to speak with Allegri. There's a technical problem because on the economic perspective, we are fine. He wants to play on Sunday and Milan wants to honor the fixture. On the contract length, we agree on one year."

Andrea Pirlo of AC Milan waves goodbye to the Rossoneri in a quote with il Corriere dello Sport:

«Dopo dieci anni indimenticabili, ringrazio società e tifosi per l'affetto.Avevo già idea di andare via. È stata una decisione presa in via consensuale.

"After 10 unforgettable years, I thank the club and fans with affection. I already had the idea to leave. It was a mutual decision."

Pavel Nedved of Juventus was quoted by Sky with harsh criticism about his team:

"Squadra senza carattere, non è la Juve". "I nuovi non hanno capito cosa vuol dire giocare con questa maglia, i vecchi l'hanno perso".

"It's a team without character. This isn't Juventus. The new guys don't understand what it means to wear this shirt and the older players have forgotten."
