Donadoni makes Juve-Giovinco plea

Parma boss Roberto Donadoni has urged Juventus to not waste the talent of Sebastian Giovinco after re-signing the Italian.

Juve sold a half share in the attacker to Parma last summer for €3.75m, but bought him back earlier this month for €11m.

“I hope that he can find some consistency in Turin,” the former Azzurri boss told Sky Sport Italia on Wednesday.

“It is clear that no player can be assured of a first team shirt, he must therefore show what he can do when called upon.

“Giovinco has grown up a lot, but he can still improve. He will become an extraordinary player.”

The 25-year-old, part of Italy’s Euro 2012 squad, scored 15 goals in Serie A for the Gialloblu this term.
