“We have to ask ourselves some serious questions. Luckily the championship will stop on November 13 and we have to make serious assessments. We will evaluate everything, in the Champions League we lost four out of five. In Serie A we are late. We will evaluate since the championship stops and we will start again differently. I’m not talking about the coach, the club, the players, something was wrong” said Pavel Nedved to Mediset on November 3rd, the day after Juventus crashed out of the Champions League group stage and was relegated to the Europe League. Juventus vice-president was true to his word, as the assessment really happened, and he resigned.⚠️#Juventus: tutto il Cda si è dimesso in concomitanza con un’assemblea straordinaria— Romeo Agresti (@romeoagresti) November 28, 2022 In a shocking news on Monday night, it has been confirmed that the entire board of directors of the company has resigned, including the president Andrea Agnelli and the vice president Pavel Nedved. Sporting director Maurizio Arrivabene has also resigned, but will stay in the club for a short period of time, in order to secure that the transition period goes as smoothly and quickly as possible.Juve executive announces ‘serious assessment’ of the club’s season during the World CupThe Agnelli family, which own Juventus, had three presidents in their history. Andrea Agnelli is the fourth member of the family which has been at the helm of the club, after his grandfather Edoardo, his uncle Gianni and his father Umberto were there before him. Andrea is leaving the club after 12 years, with some good results. For example, Juve has recorded nine consecutive championships, along with 4 Italian Cups, 5 Italian Super Cups. Under Agnelli, Juve also reached the Champions League final twice, in 2015 and in 2017. But in recent years, a sharp decline happened, and the worst part is the investigation about the ‘capital gain’ which seemed to finally sealed the fate of Juve executives. Juve directors under investigation, Ronaldo refuses to meet the prosecutorJuventus are accused of falsifying their financial statements and the prosecutor has highlighted a substantial gap between the ‘real’ figures and those declared by the club. Investigators also aim to prove that Juventus players didn’t give up to four months’ wages in March 2020, at the beginning of the COVID pandemic, but only missed one and continued to receive money, contrary to what Juventus, one of the clubs listed on the stock market, had communicated.Juve is the proud owner of the league’s new negative recordJuventus registered a record loss of 254 million euros for 2021-22 and their shareholders’ meeting was postponed twice, first on October 28th, and then on November 23rd, and now to December 27. As the reason for the negative numbers, Juventus cited the long-term impact of the Covid-19 virus pandemic, as well as reduced income from TV rights and a lower number of matches in the Champions League, since the team finished in the round of 16 in the previous three seasons. The mentioned minus increased in relation to the previous financial year (2020/2021) by around 44 million euros. At the same time, it was already announced that the next year will also finish “in the red”, as the consequences of Covid are still being felt.##NAJAVA_MECA_6843617##
