Director Bettega leaves Juventus after five months

MILAN (Reuters) - Juventus have continued to rebuild for the future after a dreadful season by parting company with director Roberto Bettega after just five months, the Serie A club said in a statement on Monday. Bettega was a key Juve director when the club bossed Italian soccer in the first half of the last decade but left in the wake of their 2006 match-fixing demotion only to return in late December. However, his presence could not stop Juve sliding down to seventh and this month's arrivals of former Sampdoria coach Luigi Del Neri and ex-Samp sporting director Beppe Marotta have spelt the end of his second short stint with the Turin club.
