Former Azzurri centre-back Leonardo Bonucci is making a comeback to the public eye after a brief hiatus following his retirement. The former defender, who concluded his career with stints at Union Berlin and Fenerbahce, is transitioning into a new phase of his football journey.
Recently, Bonucci was spotted at Gianluigi Buffon’s wedding, posing with his former defensive partners Giorgio Chiellini and Andrea Barzagli. He also made an appearance at San Siro, watching Inter Milan’s 3-2 victory over Torino. His presence at the match stirred some controversy, as he was jeered by Inter fans when shown on the big screen, likely due to his Juventus past.
Interestingly, Bonucci may have been supporting Torino during the match, not just because of his Juventus history, but also in solidarity with his son Lorenzo. The younger Bonucci was seen in the stands wearing Torino colors, having been a fan of the club due to his admiration for former Torino striker Andrea Belotti.
Looking ahead, Bonucci has expressed his ambition to pursue a coaching career. In a previous interview, he mentioned drawing inspiration from Antonio Conte’s ability to maximize player potential and Roberto Mancini’s unique achievements with Italy at Euro 2020.
While he awaits the opportunity to begin his coaching journey, Bonucci is set to appear as a guest on Sky Calcio Club, a popular football program hosted by Fabio Caressa, on Sunday, October 6th. This appearance marks Bonucci’s return to the football media landscape, potentially offering insights into his playing career and future aspirations in the sport.
