Andrea Agnelli shocked the world on Monday by handing in his resignation as Juventus president. The rest of the club’s board of directors followed suit.
The outgoing president ended a 12-year tenure at the helm of the club that had always been associated with his family.
But at the age of 46, he surely isn’t planning an early retirement, and the football world hasn’t seen the last of him.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via ilBianconero, Agnelli will continue to pursue his long-standing dream of launching the European Super League.
As we all know, the project received a huge public and political backlash after its announcement in April 2021, forcing nine of the 12 founding members to back down within 48 hours.
However, Juventus insisted on marching alongside Real Madrid and Barcelona causing a big break between UEFA and the rebel trio.
The source explains that the resigned president of Juventus hopes that the European court of justice will rule in favor of the Super League, allowing the docking of a new competition that can end UEFA’s monopoly on football competitions in the Old Continent.
In this case, the report expects Agnelli to act as one of the leaders of the newly established competition, filling a role similar to that played by Gianni Infatino (in FIFA) or his friend-turned-nemesis Aleksander Ceferin (in UEFA). .
