Former Juventus president Andrea Agnelli’s partner, Denize Akalin, has written him an open letter following his resignation from his position at the club.
Agnelli has faced problems in recent seasons, as his decision-making was called into question as the Bianconeri stopped winning league titles and started running financial losses.
Some of his decisions have also seen the club embroiled in different legal battles, the latest of which is false accounting, which led him and the board to resign.
The highlight of his tenure as president was the club winning nine consecutive league titles and reaching the Champions League final twice.
It’s been a rollercoaster ride and Akalin wrote via Tuttomercatoweb:
“Where to start… After 12 years of working day and night, today closes a chapter in your life as president of Juventus. Only you and I will know all the sacrifices you made, all the efforts you put into it..
“9 consecutive Serie A championships, 5 Italian cups, 4 in a row, 4 super cup victories, 5 consecutive women’s championships, 2 women’s Italian cups, 3 women’s super cups, 1 C series Italian cup… Nobody can take them away from you. and I doubt anyone will ever come close to winning 29 trophies.”
Juve FC says
Agnelli has made some bad decisions, but in the first ten years of his presidency, Juventus was one of the biggest clubs in the world and the biggest in Italy.
Arguably, he helped us become one of the enviable teams in Europe and he has used the last two seasons to work to get us back to the top of European football.
