Juve manager’s wife fuels suicide attempt rumours

THE wife of Gianluca Pessotto has added to speculation that her husband tried to take his own life yesterday — revealing that the former Italy international “did not feel capable of being the team manager” at Juventus.

The 35-year-old fell 15 metres from a balcony at Juve’s headquarters in Turin and is still receiving treatment at the city’s Molinette hospital.

Reana Pessotto, who has been at her husband’s bedside since he arrived in hospital, confirmed reports that her husband had been suffering from depression.
