All Juventus board members, including President Andrea Agnelli, have resigned, and the Bianconeri have already appointed a new CEO, while Exor revealed the candidate for the presidency. Here’s what we know so far and the live updates from Turin.
It was quite an eventful evening in Turin on Monday as Juventus confirmed their board of directors had resigned, with Maurizio Scanavino appointed as the new CEO replacing Maurizio Arrivabene, who will remain in charge until the next board of directors’ meeting on January 18, 2023.
Juventus directors are under investigation for alleged tax fraud, but although many mention the capital gain case as the original sin, the biggest problem appears to be the suspect of hidden salaries paid to players after the COVID pandemic.
In May and June 2020, 23 players in the squad signed agreements to reduce their salaries by four months during the COVID-19 pandemic to help the club get through this difficult period.
Instead, it was reported and it seems as if Juve are struggling to prove otherwise, that the players gave up only one month’s salary.
Exor, the holding company with a controlling stake in the club revealed on Monday morning that Gianluca Ferrero is their candidate to replace Agnelli.
