Dino Zoff argues that Agnelli’s sale would be “tragic” for Juventus

 

 

The Agnelli family has been the club’s majority owner since 1923, only recently celebrating a full century at the helm.

 

For his part, legendary Juventus goalkeeper Dino Zoff explains why such a prospect would be tragic for the club.

 

“The Agnelli family selling Juventus would be tragic,” argues the 81-year-old in an interview.

 

“This family represents one of the country’s institutions. The world changes but the Agnellis remain the Agnellis. They are Juventus.

 

“If this were to happen, I would be disappointed. For me tradition is important. It’s not something that should change depending on times and circumstances.

 

“Selling Juventus would be a major blow,” concludes the 1982 World Cup hero. ......

Juventus ran at loss of 115m in 2022-23

 

 

Juventus ended the 2022-23 financial year running at losses of circa €115m, was calculated from parent company Exor’s statements.

 

Exor is the holding company for the Agnelli empire and run by John Elkann, the cousin to former Juve President Andrea Agnelli. ......

 

These calculations suggest that Juventus ran at a loss of €115m for the 2023-23 financial year, closing June 30.

 

It will be made official next week in the Board of Directors meeting.

 

That represents a huge improvement on last year’s losses of €239m, which were also affected by the pandemic taking away revenue from the stadium.

 

While Juventus struggle, Exor continues to flourish with profits of €2.2bn for the first half of 2023. .......

EXOR not looking to sell Juventus, but would welcome in new investors

 

 

Last week, a sensational report claimed that the Agnelli family is finally willing to put an end to its 100 years at Juventus.

 

For its part, EXOR (the Dutch holding company that runs the family’s assets) was quick to deny the rumor.

 

Nevertheless, this hasn’t stopped fans and observers alike from making speculations about the club’s future.

 

John Elkann (the De Facto head of the Agnelli family) isn’t willing to make another capital increase at Juventus.

 

Moreover, the Italian businessman doesn’t intend to sell the club as some have suggested.

 

However, Elkann wouldn’t mind bringing in new investors, perhaps from the Arab world or the United States, who can inject some fresh funds into the club. ....

Notably the absence of their former president, Andrea Agnelli, and Pavel Nedved, both of whom served as board members on the previous board of directors. .........

 

Despite his significant contributions as both an ex-board member and a revered Juve legend who graced the field for numerous seasons, Nedved regrettably chose not to participate in the event. ...........

Buffon opens up on why Juventus is different from other clubs

 

 

Former Juventus legend Gianluigi Buffon recently shed light on what distinguishes the Bianconeri from their counterparts. ...........

 

 

“At Juve, you constantly feel the ownership, you perceive it whether it is present or absent. This is precisely due to the longevity of the Agnellis in the Juventus club. A certain way of working, of thinking, is already embodied in the whole environment, which it has been handed down from generation to generation. 

 

“Then there is the enthusiasm of the people, because from Lampedusa to Bolzano you find Juventus fans”. ...........

Between Saudi Arabia and Club World Cup – How Juventus plan to collect €170M next season

 

 

Juventus expect to boost their finances by collecting 170 million euros through various steams next season.

 

This season, the club took a major sporting and economic blow by missing out on Champions League football due to domestic and European sanctions.

 

The Bianconeri’s exclusion from Europe’s elite club competition cost them 60 million euros at the very least.

 

Nevertheless, the club still expects to qualify for the next edition despite the current slump. Max Allegri’s men remain in second place. ..............

 

Reaching the Champions League should guarantee Juventus at least 80 million euros thanks to the competition’s improved prize-money system.

 

Moreover, the Bianconeri will be hoping to pip Napoli for a spot in the 2025 Club World Cup. They would guarantee their place in the 32-team tournament if the Partenopei were to be eliminated at the hands of Barcelona next Tuesday.

 

Participating in the first-ever expanded edition of the competition should yield at least 50 million euros.

 

Finally, Juventus are now seeking a new main sponsor as their agreement with Jeep will expire at the end of the season. ..............

 

 

Juventus are gunning for an agreement that generates 40 million euros from shirt sponsorship, but they might agree to close the deal for slightly lower figures.

Juventus dire finances will force the club to sell players – The figures revealed

 

 

The Juventus hierarchy is reportedly forced to sell players over the next three years in order to balance the books. ..............

 

The club must raise between 120 and 130 million euros from player sales in the next three financial years.

 

The Bianconeri have thus far recorded 20 million from their sales this season, so they would still require another 20M, preferably by June.

 

Then, the Turin-based giants would have to generate another 40 million euros in the 2024/25 season as well as the following one. ..............

 

On a parallel note, the management must subsequently work on reducing the squad’s cost. We’re talking about salaries plus amortization from player transfers.

 

The Bianconeri have already dropped the cost from 414 million euros to 360M this season. ..............

Juventus owner seeking big money sponsorship deal

 

 

Juventus are making a play for a big-money shirt sponsor, and the recent trip to Saudi Arabia was more than just a Grand Prix getaway for some Juve executives.

 

John Elkann, head honcho at Exor (the Agnelli family’s holding company) and Juventus bigwig, wasn’t just there to cheer on Ferrari (though that certainly got the rumour mill churning). Elkann and his Juventus crew had their sights set on a different kind of checkered flag – one that would bring in serious cash. ..............

 

So, what was Elkann up to in Saudi Arabia? He was busy building bridges and forging partnerships in the Middle East, with a particular focus on securing a new main shirt sponsor to replace Jeep. The price tag? A cool €45 million a year, to keep the financial engine purring.

 

With Jeep’s deal expiring in June, the clock is ticking for Juve to lock down a lucrative sponsorship. Elkann and his team are determined to make a power move that could rewrite the game in Italian football sponsorship. ..............

Pundit explains John Elkann’s latest comments on Juventus

 

 

The leader of Juventus’ parent company Exor, John Elkann, recently said the Bianconeri were starting from scratch.

 

He made Cristiano Giuntoli the club’s latest sporting director and has now tasked the former Napoli man to rebuild the team. ..............

 

What changes should we expect and what does Elkann’s words mean? Pundit Stefano Impallomeni explains:

 

“If you are a fan, you always expect a lot, now the fans must have patience and the Elkann’s words are responsible and lead to an active wait for this Juve. Pay attention to the balance sheet but let’s move, he says, relying on Giuntoli to build something competitive. It’s the beginning of a new story. And year zero for me it means a new coach and new players. Now we understand why Giuntoli was hired, who is expected to make his first evaluations next year. The era of the instant team, now scouting, ability to find new talents, is over.” ..............

John Elkann: “Juve, reset and no excuses”

 

 

 ............

Elkann expressed confidence in new manager Thiago Motta, who will lead Juventus into the upcoming season. “With Thiago, we are approaching a new generation. Our team is very young, and he has the experience needed to work with our group. He is the person we need,” Elkann stated. He stressed the importance of creating a positive atmosphere and engaging with fans, both in person and through social media.

 

When asked if Juventus is entering a ‘year zero,’ Elkann responded, “It depends on what you mean. I start from a phrase I read recently at Roland Garros: ‘Victory belongs to those who have tenacity.'” He elaborated on the idea of tenacity, saying, “It’s the desire to get back in the game after moments of adversity. Year zero means leaving behind what has happened, pressing the ‘reset’ button, and looking forward. Strong athletes and teams have this ability, without falling into situations of making excuses.” ............
