MILAN - Juventus have signed
Swiss left-back Reto Ziegler from relegated Sampdoria, the
club said in a statement on Thursday, their second
signing in a week following another miserable season.
Juve, who finished seventh in Serie A for the second
successive season and failed to qualify for Europe, have already
signed Italy midfielder Andrea Pirlo from AC Milan.
Former Tottenham Hotspur player Ziegler has penned a deal
until 2015. Juve had problems at left-back last term with Paolo
De Ceglie injured for much of the season and Fabio Grosso frozen
out.
The club sacked coach Luigi Del Neri last week and are
poised to appoint former midfielder Antonio Conte in his place.
