Juventus and the Agnelli family holding company Exor seem to be increasingly distancing themselves from Andrea Agnelli, as John Elkann takes greater control of the club.

The Agnelli family has been at the helm of Juve for the best part of a Century and that was continued when Andrea Agnelli became President in May 2010.

He was forced to resign in late November 2022 along with the entire board of directors following the scandal over inflated transfer fees to boost capital gains and the controversial accounting of the so-called ‘salary manoeuvres.’

Juventus have increasingly chosen to draw a line under that whole era and start again, negotiating a plea bargain of a large fine and deciding not to appeal the 10-point Serie A penalty.

On the other hand, Andrea Agnelli cut himself out of that plea bargain, giving him the option to continue fighting legal battles and defend his leadership.

He is also still working on the Super League project with Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Instead, his cousin John Elkann is taking control of Juventus and installing his own men to lead the club forward, which has become a costly drain on the family resources.

These include President Gianluca Ferrero and CEO Maurizio Scanavino.

Exor held a meeting today in Amsterdam to approve the 2022 accounts and confirmed Andrea Agnelli has resigned from the Board of Directors.
