[edit] Events
At various points in the season, Juventus looked as though they could challenge rivals Internazionale's stronghold over Serie A, most notably in November 2008 following 5 successive wins, in late January 2009 after a seven-game unbeaten streak and again in March 2009 after another series of seven games without losing, which included impressive 4-1 successes over Bologna F.C and A.S. Roma. However, coach Claudio Ranieri seemed to encounter serious problems in motivating his troops with his constant belittling of Juventus's title chances.[1]
After a club record run of 7 consecutive league games without a win in April and May, Ranieri was sacked in only his second season at Juventus. This barren run of results also included a 2-1 loss at home to S.S. Lazio in the Coppa Italia semi-finals, meaning the Turin side were once more denied the chance to compete for silverware. Juventus legend and former centre back Ciro Ferrara, who was the director of the Youth Sector at that time, was appointed the caretaker manager for the remaining two matches. The wins over Siena and Lazio ensured a second place finish over Milan (based on head-to-head record) after the Rossoneri failed to take advantage of Juve's winless streak and lost 3-2 away at Roma.
In Europe, Juventus began brightly, being unbeaten in their six group games and topping their group. These positive performances saw the Italians beat Spanish champions Real Madrid both home and away. Alessandro Del Piero, who scored a brace at the Santiago Bernabeu just four days before celebrating his 34th birthday, earned himself a standing ovation from the notoriously hostile Madrid crowd.
The knockout stages were much less rejoicing for the Bianconeri. They were knocked out by English club Chelsea F.C. who had just changed their manager. Despite battling bravely with 10 men in the second leg, Juventus drew the game 2-2, meaning they were eliminated after the 1-0 loss in London.
On 5 June 2009, it was confirmed that Ferrara had been appointed as the full-time manager on a two-year contract.[2]
