He told daily La Stampa: "It will be a young side that must recover the identity of a big one. I know this.
"With Bayern Munich I won everything and the idea of a place where there is need to rebuild, gives me a big will.
"Even if they are in Serie B I will still go. When I chose to join them I knew which league they were in.
"The club guaranteed me that they will strengthen the squad and that I will be the ideal player to give them experience.
"I won the Champions League in Milan, my career's best memory. When destiny calls, you go."
Juventus chief executive Jean-Claude Blanc has backed Didier Deschamps insisting the coach will still be in charge next season.

Blanc told Sky Italia: "With Deschamps we started a plan in August and, after talking to the board we have decided that this plan will continue next season.
"Deschamps did a really good job in the first part of the season despite facing a lot of injuries. So I am sure he will continue to do a good job in the future."
