Pessotto found with rosary Tuesday 27 June, 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Police investigating Gianluca Pessotto’s fall from a window have confirmed he was found clutching a rosary.
The newly appointed Juventus team manager suffered multiple fractures and is in a serious condition at a Turin hospital after it is understood that he fell from a height of around 15 metres.
Reports have suggested that Pessotto either fell from a window – on the second or third floor – but there is also the possibility that he fell from the roof.
Police are continuing their investigation as Pessotto, whose injuries are not thought to be life threatening, is undergoing medical tests and surgery this afternoon.
Pessotto, who hung up his boots as a player at the end of last term, is understood to have firstly hit a parked Alfa 147 and then a Lancia Phedra as he plunged to the ground.
“I have no idea what happened, I’m shocked,” said Juventus marketing guru Romy Gai.
Marco Girotto, Juventus’ Press officer, added: “We still don’t know what occurred, we’ll have to wait and see.
“Gianluca has suffered a number of fractures, but his life is not at risk.”
The news of Pessotto’s fall was met with shock by the Italian national squad who are presently on Germany 2006 duty.
Captain Fabio Cannavaro brought his Press conference to an end after he was informed of this morning’s events.
“I’m shocked, ‘Pessottino’ is the nicest man on earth,” said the Juventus captain.
Marco Materazzi noted: “He was here in Germany just the other day, what happened? He’s a friend who must recover. We are all close to him.”
A number of Juventus officials are now anxiously waiting for news at the Molinette hospital, including new President Giovanni Cobolli Gigli, Romy Gai and Michelangelo Rampulla. Former Juventus Vice-President Roberto Bettega is also present. |
