The new Football Manager 2020 video game will be released this week, Tuesday November 19. Shortly ahead of the launch of the most famous football manager video game, it has emerged how unlicensed Italian giants Juventus will be called and look like in the game.
Juventus Is Called "Zebre" In Football Manager 2020
In Football Manager 2020, Juventus will be called "Zebre". This is because Konami acquired the full rights to Juventus for eFootball Pro Evoution Soccer 2020 - no other computer game can use the Serie A club's name, logo or jersey for 2019-20.
For the same reason, Juventus are known as Piemonte Calcio in FIFA 20. Piemonte Calcio translates to Piedmont Football (Piedmont is the region around Torino). Zebre is the Italian word for "zebra".
Football Manager 2020 chose the name "Zebre" because of their traditional striped black and white kit - however, the default kit for the club in FM2020 actually is a black shirt with a diagonal white stripe, much like Piemonte Calcio's fake jersey in FIFA 20.
