Asked about the new season, Italy's team manager told La Gazzetta di Parma: "After last season, we need two years of consolidation."
On former Arsenal assistant manager Cuesta, Buffon continued: “Cuesta would be a gamble only if there wasn’t the idea of a capable person like him (Cherubini) behind him."
The goalkeeping great added: "The surprise could be Como, who could leave the mid-table band."
