| Juve show faith in Secco |

Juventus have officially extended the contract of sporting director Alessio Secco until 2011.
Secco has come under fire for his transfer dealings in recent years and was lambasted for the signatures of midfield flops Tiago Mendes and Sergio Almiron.
But he has also done some good business and Amauri and Momo Sissoko are flying the flag for his regime.
“Juventus have decided to renew Secco's contract as sporting director earlier than planned,” a statement from Jean-Claude Blanc reads.
“During the last two and a half years Secco has shown his talents and professionalism.
“By consolidating his position, Juventus are able to give stability to the sporting project.”
Secco, who took over the post in the aftermath of the Calciopoli scandal, was clearly delighted by the decision.
“The faith of the club and the recognition for the work I have done with my staff to bring Juve back to the top of the Italian and world game is much appreciated.
“I can only guarantee that I will continue to work to build a competitive squad able to bring happiness to all the Juventus fans.”
