YEARS OF SUCCESSES
1967 was another successful championship year for Juve under the presidency of Vittore Catella. A long successful period started with Giampiero Boniperti as president in 1971. During the fifteen years from 1972 to 1986, Juventus won nine championships and tasted victory in all the European and Intercontinental tournaments.
Vycpalek, Parola and Giampiero Boniperti were the trainers, while on the pitch Juventus featured such greats as Zoff, Scirea, Tardelli, Cabrini, Causio, Rosa, Gentile, Furino, Anastasi and Roberto Bettega today's vice-president. The Italians were complemented by superb foreigners like Michel Platini who won two championships, two European Cups, one Intercontinental Cup, three awards as the top goal-scorer and three Golden Balls in five years.
In 1990 Juventus won the UEFA Cup and the
Italian Cup (with today's president Vittorio Chiusano and Dino Zoff as trainer)
and the UEFA Cup again in 1993.

RECENT TRIUMPHS
In 1994 a new managerial group of A.Giraudo, Luciano Moggi and Roberto Bettega (nicknamed "the triad") took over at the head of Juventus FC. They employed trainer Marcello Lippi, who immediately guided the team to their first Championship in nine years. In 1994-95 the team won the Italian Cup but lost in the final of the Uefa Cup.
Juventus had won the Champions Cup only once before - on the tragic night at Heysel against Liverpool. The final match of the season in Rome saw Juventus take on Ajax for the title of European Champions. An exciting match ended in a 1-1 draw after extra time. The successful penalty kicks from Peruzzi, Ferrara, Pessotto, Padovano and Jugovic sent all Juventus supporters into ecstasy. In the following year Juventus won the Intercontinental Cup in Tokyo (Del Piero), the European Supercup against Paris Saint Germain and their 24th Scudetto.Sadly the Final of the Champions League was lost to Borussia Dortmund, but Lippi bounced back as the club won the Supercup and their 25th Championship.
