Juventus administrator Gian Paolo Montali said the club will do everything to keep Pavel Nedved from quitting football because he is a good role model to the young players on the team.Unless there are any surprising twists, the next two months will be the last of Juventus icon Pavel Nedved as a professional footballer. However, it's likely that many at the club will try to convince the Czech Ballon d'Or winner to stay on for one more year. Juventus administrator Gian Paolo Montali is one of those people. "What I wanted to tell Nedved is that he is an example, and players like him are a rare breed," he said to Sky. "It's clear that the only thing that might bother him is that he will play less in the future, because he is used to be a first team player, someone who is always on the pitch. "However, if he understands that his contribution to the team is of a very high value also off the pitch, with his behaviour, I think he could be convinced to stay another year. "He could really help these young players who are coming through. He always puts in a lot of heart and passion in what he does. With those qualities he could also become a very fine coach." Nedved joined Juve from Lazio in 2001. Since then he has won two Serie A titles, four if you include those revoked in 2005 and 2006, and was honored with the Ballon d'Or trophy in 2003, when he led the team to the Champions League final.
