About

An alumnus of the University of Leuven, Gianni gave up promising careers in both athletics and academics to focus on teaching people how to stand up on a piece of plastic all around the world.
Upon noticing that there really isn't much of a future in the world of professional surf coaching, he got into this writing business.

Now a Featured Columnist for Juventus FC, he'll write about pretty much anything, but with an emphasis on Italian football and the Bianconeri in particular.

When he's not writing, your best bet is to look for him at the beach (any random beach), in a library (try the adult section first), parked on the couch watching some nerdy TV show or at a meeting in yet another attempt to get rid of his addiction to pineapple juice.

    You've probably heard or even watched the Milan-Barca game and seeing the Rossoneri with a shock win, especially with two goals, do you think that Milan will put more emphasis on the CL or continue with progressing in Serie A? Do you think this is a Milan rebirth, or at least revival and how does this affect Italian football?
