Juventus GM Jean-Claude Blanc says management are confident their new stadium will be complete for the 2011/12 season.

"Visiting the building site of the stadium I was amazed at the quality of the work, which is advancing well within the agreed schedule," said Blanc.

"Everyone is working hard to ensure we are ready to play in the new arena from the 2011-12 campaign.

"It is exciting to see the birth of a new stadium from the laying of the foundations. I think it can comfort all the Juventus fans who cannot wait to step into our new home."

The Bianconeri are also expanding the Vinovo training ground so that all their various age groups can train in the same venue.

"This is an important step in our plan to make the most of the youth academy, because it allows total integration between the technical staff of the senior and Primavera teams."
