Juventus sporting director Pessotto is seriously ill in hospital after falling from a window at club headquarters.

Del Piero and Zambrotta were joined on a private flight by ex-Juve player Ciro Ferrara, one of Italy's coaching staff.

Pessotto, 35, a former Juventus midfielder, is not implicated in the Italian match-fixing scandal.

Del Piero, Zambrotta and Ferrara spent more than an hour at his hospital bedside and were due to return to Italy's World Cup camp later on Wednesday.

Italy captain and Juventus defender Fabio Cannavaro walked out of a media conference at the training camp when he heard about Pessotto's fall.

"I'm devastated. Pessotto was the nicest guy in the world," said Cannavaro.

Pessotto was appointed Juve's sports director in May after 11 years as a player, during which he won 22 caps for Italy.
