Former Juventus boss Marcello Lippi believes that the club are on the cusp of a new era of dominance.
After successive seventh-placed finishes, the Bianconeri are currently flying high at the top of Serie A under new coach Antonio Conte, who arrived in Turin last summer.
Juve have taken a while to recover from 'Calciopoli', the match-fixing scandal which resulted in them being relegated to Serie B, but the World Cup winner feels that they are now poised to re-establish themselves as the most powerful force in Italy.
"Juventus will open a cycle because this team is only going to get better from here on," he told Tuttosport.
"The new stadium has added a sense of pride, while Conte has given organisation and sense of belonging back to the club."
Lippi coached Juve during two separate spells in 1994-99 and 2001-04, during which he led the club to five Serie A titles.
