The former Bianconeri captain played for the club for two decades, when the officials decided against renewing the contract of the ageing player.

However, the Dutch midfielder was adamant that club and the player will continue to do well, despite the fact that they are no longer together.
While talking to the Sky Sport Italia, the 39-year-old said:
"Juve will miss Del Piero, it will not be the same without him. But life goes on, and I am sure that both will do well in the future.”
Juventus have been active in the summer transfer window, procuring talent from all around to fuel their UEFA Champions League campaign in the upcoming season.
Davids was of the view that the Old Lady will have to continue on their quest for excellence, and stressed that the club will have to improve on their performance of the previous season amidst added responsibilities.
However, the retired Dutchman stressed that great signings do not always guarantee great results. The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 player added that the Vecchia Signora have always been a good team, and the arrival or departure of a single man will not impact the club much.
“Juventus must always improve, next year they should make a great campaign in the Champions League. But signing great players does not always mean that you will be successful. Juve's strength is not based on individual players, it has always been based on the team." He added.
The Turin giants will play http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 in Italian Super Cup game on August 11.
