He was born in Varese on the 25th March 1957 and was brought up as a manager in the locality and therefore it is natural for the Director General for Sport Affairs to act as host: "The second part of the training camp started off very well – he told Juventus Channel – both with regards to logistics and organization which were guaranteed by the local administration and also from a public point of view. The supporters gave the team a warm welcome and this is something new for Varese. This means that the reputation of the club is high and that there is a consensus round the team. It is a good sign in view of the season which will soon see us busy with official matches with the Europa League preliminaries".

In view of the first European matches, Marotta did not hide his excitement: "It is a commitment which we must not underestimate because in any case we will be play against a highly motivated team which is well ahead of us when it comes to preparation. I am definitely excited even though I hope that Juve can return to playing on more important stages as is the wish of the club. The Europa League is a prestigious competition but Juventus should have other ambitions".

In order to return to competing for the best titles a great deal of hard work is necessary and Del Neri is a guarantee in this sense: "The club created a dynamic structure that has in the coach a point of reference. His daily work is well received by the players and this augurs well for the future".

Finally, regarding the transfer market, Marotta underlined that: "is open until the 31st August, and therefore there can be changes even though the situation is rather at a stand stikll due to the limited number of transfers, not only in Italy".
