Pessotto won't watch final
Afp, Rome
Juventus team manager Gianluca Pessotto's condition has improved slightly 12 days after jumping from his office window in a suicide attempt, said a spokesman at Turin's Le Molinette hospital."In these kinds of situations things can change very quickly one way or another but there are still signs of optimism today," said head of intensive care Pier Paolo Donadio on Sunday. The 35-year-old former Italy utility player, who complained of stress after retiring as a player to take on the manager's role with the Serie A champions in May, was visited during the day by former Juve teammate Nicola Lombardo and Turin archbishop Cardinal Severino Poletto. However, doctors retracted earlier suggestions that Pessotto would be allowed to watch television coverage of the World Cup final in Berlin between Italy and France late Sunday. "We don't want to expose him to more fatigue," Donadio said.
