The two favourites to be named as the new captain are Buffon and Del Piero, who are the two highest appearance makers in the squad, the former winning 82 caps, and the latter 86.

In my opinion Del Piero should be the captain as he has appeared more than Buffon, and he has been a leader for Juve since years.

Probably Del Piero won't be a starter at the beginning so I think Buffon could be a better captain

But while he's on he could take the captains armband, if he plays for at least 1 half that is

Yeah maybe if he starts from the 1st minute he'll take the captaincy over Buffon considering he has more caps

Is it true that in some countries they just decide the captain on who has the most caps?

Beckham might have been captain in the last game but we have been experimenting with the likes of Gerrard and ferdinand.

Pannuchi should be captain, he has vast experience and if you're going off Caps he will be up there.
