Andrea Agnelli has confirmed Juventus’ management model ‘will stay the same’ and that Fabio Paratici will effectively replace Beppe Marotta.
Paratici had been linked with following Marotta out of Juve after he was not named as a member of the club’s new board on Monday morning, but Agnelli assured the sporting director would be handed more responsibilities going forward.
Andrea Agnelli has confirmed Juventus’ management model ‘will stay the same’ and that Fabio Paratici will effectively replace Beppe Marotta.
Paratici had been linked with following Marotta out of Juve after he was not named as a member of the club’s new board on Monday morning, but Agnelli assured the sporting director would be handed more responsibilities going forward.
“As is clear to everyone, there’s a Board of Directors which manages the club through a series of mandates,” the President explained at a meeting held by Lega Calcio.
“They will be assigned after the AGM on October 25. The management model of Juventus since my arrival will stay the same and is based on three pillars: sport, revenues and services.
“Juventus will carry on working like this. The leadership within Juventus will change. Giorgio Ricci will take care of revenues, Fabio Paratici will be responsible for the sporting area and Marco Re for services.
“Marotta and [Aldo] Mazzia did great jobs. They’ve raised young and great leaders, who are now faced by great challenges like those in 2011, although these ones are even bigger because we now work on a global level.
“We must make sure that Juventus remain at the top of European football and compete with teams who are ahead of us in terms of revenue like Bayern Munich, the Spanish, the English and Paris Saint-Germain.
“We’ve known for six years that the management of Juventus passes through the field, but both revenues and services are equally important.
“Juventus will continue to operate with continuity in a managerial sense.”
