According to Gazzetta, the legendary `BBC` trio is set to return to Juventus. Giorgio Chiellini is expected to take on a more central role within the club structure. Leonardo Bonucci is being considered for a position in the new technical staff, particularly if Antonio Conte returns. An academy role is envisioned for Andrea Barzagli. Juventus is looking to revive the BBC influence, not on the pitch – although Igor Tudor could certainly use them at Udinese! – but to strengthen the club at all levels. It`s a compelling project: returning Juventus to the `Juventini` and those who shaped its recent history, like Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci, and Andrea Barzagli. A legendary trio adorned with numerous Scudetti.
As players, they perfectly complemented each other side-by-side, transforming Antonio Conte`s tactical vision (2011-12) into a vast collection of trophies. Now, the prevailing idea at the highest levels of Juventus is to restore the Bianconeri DNA by bringing this iconic trio back “home”. Giorgio Chiellini, the `C` of the BBC, has already rejoined the club and is being entrusted with ever-increasing responsibilities by the ownership. For the two `B`s, more technical roles are being discussed. Leonardo Bonucci, the youngest of the three and the last to retire from playing in 2024, is being considered for a spot in the first team`s new staff, especially if the dream of bringing Antonio Conte back to the bench materializes. Andrea Barzagli, meanwhile, would gladly be given the leadership of a youth team by Juventus.
