Juventus' Board of Directors
In shocking news coming up from the Italian side Juventus, the whole committee of the Board of directors has resigned from the club. The exclusive reason hasn’t been confirmed yet, but if there’s something that the world needs to know, it will come out. The positions included towering personalities such as President Andrea Agnelli, VP Pavel Nedved, and managing director Maurizio Arrivabene have all resigned in an extraordinary meeting held on the eve of November 28.
The news was initially followed by an investigation that arose as a result of Juventus players and their head coach Maurizio Sarri agreeing to cut their salaries throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic. After deciding to do so it has been reported that the Italian authorities found some irregularities and began to take a closer look into the matter. The mass resigning had happened two years later that event.
Some exclusive details about the club’s managing committee’s tenure and the issues faced during that time haven’t been revealed completely and might get into people’s sight once everything is calmer. The mass resignation has definitely shaken the club upside down, and new looks for changing the whole system have been looked upon. There’s no doubt, that the resigns are suspicious and point towards a much bigger reason than just salary troubles.
The sad part was people’s trust and Juventus’ recent performance that was continuously declining, having to play the Europa League and couldn’t help find a score in the Champions League, getting beaten by every other club. The club has lost its image of being at the top during the last 5-6 years, after their long-reigning streak of winning the league multiple times was broken.
Juventus under the board of directors during the last years
Andrea Agnelli has been President at the Old Lady for 12 years, which first took place in 2010 after which the president helped the team build a domestic dominance of 9 years consecutively. The players signed and released were all under the eyes of the big man who was a much-appreciated and loved guy in the business. On the other hand Pavel Nedved a club legend gained a seat among the directors.
The same Legend, who spent eight years at the club, winning laurels for the club, lately converted into one of the most powerful players in Football history, entering the same authorities that he once followed, the fans and the supporters always believed in the team of managers, and now has to look further for new involvements in the field.
