Juventus GM Marotta: Tevez out of World Cup due to non-football issues

Juventus GM Beppe Marotta admits the club is disappointed Carlos Tevez won't be going to the World Cup.

Tevez doesn't see eye-to-eye with Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella.

"Clearly Tevez is a man and therefore aspires to wear the jersey of his country, especially at a World Cup," Marotta told Sky Sport Italia.

"He deserves it for his talents, but the Coach makes his decisions. I think it is down to non-football situations we don't know.

"As a professional, Tevez accepts this decision with disappointment, but understanding, realising he can gain satisfaction elsewhere in his career."
