Juventus captain Alessandro del Piero is delighted with his new contract.
Del Piero put pen to paper on a new deal this week and took to Facebook for a personal message.
"I waited a few hours to get my head together before expressing myself here, for you who again on this occasion have made me feel special," wrote Alex.
"In all honesty it's not easy, because the feelings, the emotions and the meaning of what happened are so strong.
"I feel the same now as I did 18 years ago... but today the method of communication has changed. In 1993 I didn't even have a mobile phone, while now there's Facebook.
"You have been close to me with an incredible passion and all this pushes me on to set new and ever more ambitious objectives."
