Alessandro Del Piero admits he was “a little upset” when Juventus announced his departure. “Usually these things are handled differently.”

President Andrea Agnelli surprised many this week when mentioning in passing during a shareholders’ meeting that “this will be Del Piero’s last season with Juventus.”

His contract does not expire until June 30, 2012, so there was controversy over the lack of fanfare for someone who has been at the club since 1993.

“Usually these things are handled differently,” confessed Del Piero on Striscia La Notizia.

“Despite all this, there is no need to clarify anything with the President.

“Now I will focus only on the team, as there is time to think about my future. I have not made any decision yet.”

Del Piero was then asked if he was upset or had been disappointed by the announcement.

“A little bit.”

The captain is likely to continue his playing career for one more year, though while Milan and his hometown club Padova have shown an interest, he seems set to go abroad to America’s MLS.

2-2 fulltime...sigh* once again we dropped 2pts against smaller team at home

could've lost all 3pts though...poor defending from Juve backline nearing the end of the match

corrected 

kinda noticed that chiellini was slipping up a lot towards d end..losing much of possession las night & also the 1st goal...gosh..saket hati...plus krasic was a real disappointing sub at the end..he really has gotta change his style instead of just dashing in n losing d possession for a counter attack.
