Former Juventus striker Allesandro Del Piero has reacted to the recent resignation of the club’s board and its president.
Juve fans and players were rocked by the decision by Andrea Agnelli and his board of directors to resign two days ago, putting the club in a position to find new leaders.
Although the Bianconeri are fighting some legal battles, Agnelli assured fans that the club has always done the right thing.
His resignation surprised everyone, including Del Piero, saying via Tuttomercatoweb:
“I’m shocked. To comment in an articulate way, I should know the situation better, but it’s a bit sad because they’re all friends, from Agnelli to Nedved. But it’s not like in 2006, it’s not about the team, but about the people, because it’s a accusation on the people, the president and the members of the board of directors”.
Juve FC says
The decision to resign has impacted all of us because Agnelli has always been a fighter who never backs down.
However, it seems clear that he had no choice but to leave for the good of the club and he deserves even more praise and respect for agreeing to put the club before his self-interest.
We wish him the best in his future and now is the time to start working to keep this club one of the best in European football.
