Juventus captain Alessandro del Piero admits he considered his future while former coach Fabio Capello was in charge. Del Piero will end his career at Juventus, but there were fears it would not be the case when he was repeatedly benched by Capello and then the club was demoted to Serie B.

He said: "I am extremely happy that I stayed with Juventus, because that was my primary objective. There were some events pushing me further away from Juve during that time, but this is the way it went and I am happy."
