Nedved: ‘I couldn’t join Inter’

Dec 8, 2016

 

Juventus vice-President Pavel Nedved would have gone “anywhere in the world” for Jose Mourinho, except for Inter.

 

The Czech midfielder was offered the chance to join the Nerazzurri for the 2009-10 season, but he retired with the Bianconeri in the summer of 2009.

 

“Jose struck a chord,” Nedved admitted, speaking to Idnes.

 

“He knew I was very attracted to the Champions League, because I’d never won it. But it couldn’t work, how could we be compatible? Not at all!

 

“If he’d called me from anywhere else in the world I’d have gone to him, but I couldn’t go to Inter.

 

“Inter won the Champions League? No problem, it was meant to be. Mourinho wanted it!”

 

Nedved also expanded on his reasoning, explaining he could never move to the Beneamata after the Calciopoli scandal which saw them awarded the 2006 Scudetto after Juve were stripped of it.

 

“In Italy they call it the ‘Scudetto di cartone’, the cardboard title. I could never have accepted such a title, I couldn’t appreciate it.”

Ex-Juventus President Agnelli fined and banned for 16 more months in second FIGC trial

 

 

 

Former Juventus President Andrea Agnelli has been banned for 16 more months and fined €60,000 in a second FIGC trial.

 

Contrary to Juventus, the ex-President refused a plea bargain with Prosecutor Giuseppe Chiné at the end of May in a second FIGC trial looking into the so-called salary manoeuvres, the relationships with agents and other clubs.

 

Agnelli opted to go on trial, but the outcome was not satisfying as he was banned for 16 more months and received a €60,000 fine, FIGC confirmed on Monday.

 

The former Bianconeri President had already received a two-year ban in the first FIGC trial concerning Juventus’ artificially inflated transfer values. Juventus were docked 10 points in the first trial but escaped further sporting sanctions in the second, getting a fine of over €700,000 following a plea bargain.

 

Agnelli stepped down as Juventus President at the end of 2022 alongside the rest of the board of directors.

Juventus fans have been eagerly awaiting the return of Alessandro Del Piero to the club, albeit in a non-playing capacity. The iconic Italian forward departed the club nearly a decade ago and subsequently retired from European football.

 

Since his retirement, Del Piero has transitioned into a role as a pundit, but he remains one of the beloved former players that Bianconeri supporters hope to see back at the Allianz Stadium. .......

 

Despite not having an official role within the club, Del Piero continues to be a symbol of Juventus in the hearts of its fans. He has expressed that he still feels a strong connection to the club, even without an official position.

 

The ex-striker said:

“I still feel like I belong to Juventus, there is no need to have a role in the club”.

Andrea Agnelli breaks silence after Court verdict on the Super League

 

 

Former Juventus president Andrea Agnelli has broken his silence over the European Super League after the European Court gave a verdict on their case with UEFA.

 

There were mixed reactions in the football world yesterday after the court ruled against UEFA and FIFA’s monopoly, essentially paving the way for another competition to be created by anyone.

 

Agnelli was one of the big players in the Super League and continues to support the idea.

 

He lost his prestigious positions at UEFA and ECA because of his support of the idea, and the turmoil at Juve saw him lose his place as the club’s president. ...............

 

 

He reacted to the news on social media using a popular lyric and wrote the intro of a famous song by U2, ‘Where the Streets Have No Name.’

 

Before adding: ‘Love football. Fino alla Fine.’ ...............

Is Manna’s move to Napoli a good thing for Juventus?

 

 

Recent reports suggest that Giovanni Manna is poised to depart Juventus for Napoli, where he is expected to assume the role of sporting director for the Partenopei.

 

Manna previously served in a similar capacity towards the end of last season at Juventus, filling in while the club awaited the arrival of Cristiano Giuntoli from Napoli. ...............

 

The implications of Manna’s departure from Juventus can be viewed in both positive and negative lights.

 

On one hand, Manna’s exit from Juventus provides Giuntoli with an opportunity to assemble his trusted team. On the other hand, it raises concerns that Juventus’ internal workings may become more accessible to Napoli through Manna’s insider knowledge. ...............

Juventus director: ‘Essential to reduce number of teams in Serie A’

 

 

Juventus director Francesco Calvo suggested it was ‘essential’ to reduce the number of teams competing in Serie A and tried to explain the ‘Italian football crisis’. ............

 

“For us, it’s essential that there’s a change in the format of the league with a reduction in professional teams which could, combined with a reform of the players’ contracts by introducing more flexibility, review the very concept of mutuality which supports all the lower divisions.

 

“In the last six years, Juventus have invested almost €500m in Serie B and Lega Pro, through the purchase of players and development bonuses.”

“The Italian football crisis starts from afar. In 2003, Juve had a turnover like all the most important clubs in Europe. Around €230-250m.

 

“20 years later, we have managed to double this figure, but our international rivals have quadrupled it. The main problem is that the Italian rules think it’s just a game and not an industry.”

 

“In light of the country’s struggling economic system, a lack of competition in the television sector, without forgetting the infrastructural issue, imagining a growth of Italian football at the highest levels is difficult.

 

“The elimination of the Growth Decree and the ban on sponsorship of betting companies are decisions taken outside the football system, but which weigh exclusively on it. ............

 

 

“The beginning of the crisis in football started in 1995 with the Bosman law that led to a huge imbalance in the relationship between clubs and players with an exponential increase in costs. We feel penalised.

 

“The Melandri Law on TV rights actually led to a halt in the growth of Italian football, and this is no accident. TV rights stopped in 2009. Serie A supports the whole system. Italian football is not sustainable, and intervention is needed to make it economically viable and stabilise it.”

Juventus Preparing to Bring Chiellini Back to the Club

 

 

Giorgio Chiellini is ready to return to Juventus after spending two years at Los Angeles FC, the first as a player and the other as a development coach. The Bianconeri will undergo substantial changes in their management in the coming weeks. The legend should be part of the additions.

 

Cristiano Giuntoli will appoint his former right-hand man Giuseppe Pompilio and Cesena’s director Stefano Stefanelli. The role of the former defender will be finalized later on. It’ll be closer to the front office than the squad and the coaching staff. His brother Claudio is currently managing the Next Gen team. ............

 

Juventus have often floated the idea of bringing in a club legend, such as Alessandro Del Piero and Gianluigi Buffon, but Chiellini has significantly better chances and has been preparing for it for a while. The Bianconeri will also hire some new scouts to replenish the department. The new head one should be Matteo Serra from PSG. Napoli’s Leonardo Mantovani and Maurizio Micheli and Genoa’s Matteo Scala are also on their radar.

Ferrero reveals Juventus filed an appeal against Ronaldo ruling

 

 

Juventus president Gianluca Ferrero confirmed that the club has appealed the court’s decision in the infamous Cristiano Ronaldo case.

 

The club is holding its yearly shareholders’ assembly on Thursday, and the meeting began with a word from the Bianconeri president. The 60-year-old tackled several topics, including the club’s legal conflict with Ronaldo. ............

 

In the end, an arbitrary committee ruled that Juventus should pay Ronaldo half of the requested sum, approximately equalling 9.8 million euros.

 

Nevertheless, the Serie A giants remain defiant, so Ferrero revealed that the club’s legal team has filed an appeal against the ruling.

 

“We do not agree with this ruling which established a fair division of responsibility, so we challenged it at the Turin court. We do not agree with the substance of this arbitration,” said the club president. ............

Juventus CEO gives updates on shirt sponsorship talks

 

 

Juventus remains without a primary shirt sponsor after ending its partnership with Jeep last season, a sponsorship that had long been a part of the club’s identity. Now, Juventus is looking for a new, high-profile brand to secure a long-term partnership, but the club has yet to find a suitable deal. Despite holding talks with several potential sponsors before the start of the current season, the club has maintained its stance of waiting for the right opportunity.

 

This cautious approach is strategic; as one of the most prestigious clubs in Italian and European football, Juventus doesn’t feel pressure to rush into an agreement. ............

 

Maurizio Scanavino, CEO of Juventus, recently updated fans and stakeholders on the progress of these negotiations. “We are in negotiations with several brands and companies with international interest and visibility,” he said. He added, “We are considering concluding [a sponsorship deal] by the end of this season.”

 

For now, Juventus has temporarily continued its partnership with Save the Children, featuring the charity’s logo on the team’s kits, and recently reached an agreement with Azimut, a financial services company, to sponsor the shirts. However, these arrangements are interim measures, as Juventus remains focused on securing a primary sponsor that meets their criteria for a long-term contract. ............ 

 

As Scanavino’s statements suggest, Juventus intends to take the necessary time to find a partnership that benefits both parties fully. Fans are understandably anxious to see Juventus with a new sponsor, but patience will likely yield a sponsorship deal that aligns with the club’s goals and stature.
