Juventus 2010-2011

Juventus is synonymous with success in Italy. The Turin based side has won the Scudetto five straight seasons and presently sit atop the Serie A table. They are ranked ninth on the Forbes rich list.

The 2010-2011 season was one that most fans of the team would rather forget. Under manager Luigi Delner, Juventus floundered. The Bianconeri finished seventh and did not qualify for Europe.

Former Juventus midfielder Antonio Conte was brought in to replace Delneri for the 2011-2012 campaign. Focused solely on the league, Conte led his side back to the Serie A title. They have not relinquished the trophy ever since.

Conte proved then what he is proving now at Chelsea; missing out on the Champions League is not a death sentence for a wealthy club.
