“Andrea Agnelli is and will remain the president of Juventus.”
These are the words of former Juventus director Luciano Moggi, who can still be seen lurking around the Continassa training center.
Nonetheless, the Bianconeri patron could be facing much more trouble than initially expected following his failed ESL coup.
As it is known by known, the Old Lady’s president was one of the main architects behind the launch of the shortly-lived and yet unforgettable European Super League.
Whilst the announced competition remained an idea on paper following the quick withdraw of several of its founding members – primarily the Premier League clubs – this project will continue to haunt Andrea for quite some time.
In fact, Agnelli could end up losing his post at Juventus due to this controversial misadventure.
According to Calciomercato, the patron is not planning on handing his resignation as it was earlier reported on Tuesday and Wednesday.
However, the owners are taking their time while reflecting on whether to keep him at the club or discharge him.
The Bianconeri are owned by EXOR, which is a company ran by John Elkann (the chosen heir to the late Gianni Agnelli).
Besides creating a rift between Juventus and UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin, Andrea Agnelli has put EXOR in an awkward situation, as the company had just finalized an agreement with French automobile giant Peugeot.
France president Emanuel Macron was one of the first European leaders to criticize the Super league idea, and the last thing that the Italian company needed at the time was a diplomatic disagreement with the neighboring nation.
Therefore, if Elkann and company decide to relieve the president of his duties at the club, then his replacement within the black and white house could be another family member.
The person in question is Alessandro Nasi who currently occupies the role of vice-president of EXOR.
