After the resignation of the entire board of Juventus , starting with the president Andrea Agnelli, Gianluca Ferrero, accountant, auditor, auditor and director of various companies , is the man who Exor, the holding company of the Agnelli family which controls the Juventus club, will indicate as the new president .
A new era therefore opens in the history of Juventus. Ferrero - explains Exor - has "solid experience and the necessary technical skills, as well as a genuine passion for the team", which make him the most suitable person to fill the position. Exor will communicate the complete list of candidates for the renewal of the board of directors within the terms of the law, ie 25 days before the meeting of 18 January.
From the choice of Ferrero for the presidency, Exor's intention emerges to design a strong board for Juventus, with a technical profile, capable of dealing with all the legal and corporate issues in the various open proceedings . The new general manager Maurizio Scanavino should instead concentrate on operational and management decisions.
Ferrero, born in Turin in 1963, graduated in Economics and Commerce in 1988, is chairman of the board of statutory auditors of Fincantieri, Luigi Lavazza, Biotronik Italia, Praxi Intellectual Property, P. Fiduciaria, Emilio Lavazza Sapa, Gedi Gruppo Editoriale, Nuo and Lifenet. He holds the position of statutory auditor in Fenera Holding. He is vice president of the board of directors of Banca del Piemonte and member of the board of directors of Italia Independent Group, Lol srl and Pygar srl.
THE RESIGNATION – The earthquake at Juve came late yesterday evening at the end of a long extraordinary board meeting convened in the afternoon at Continassa. Thus ends the era of Agnelli, 12 years at the helm of the club, with nine consecutive championships, other trophies, two Champions League finals, a sensational coup like the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo . And then the descending parable with the investigation into the financial statements, in the sights of the magistrates, the "salary maneuvers" and the capital gains and the criticisms of Consob. In all of this the accounts are in the red, -253 million this year after the loss of 209 in the previous year, and very bitter even on the field with the team eliminated from the Champions League already in the group stage and very far from leaders Napoli in the championship.
In the black and white club, always considered a block of granite, there is no compactness, Agnelli himself says clearly in the open letter released at the height of the cyclone: « When the team is not compact, it lends its side to the opponents and this can be fatal . At that moment - wrote the Juventus president - we need to be lucid and contain the damage: we are facing a delicate moment from a corporate point of view and compactness has failed. It's better to leave everyone together, giving the possibility to a new formation to overturn that match».
