Max Allegri has confirmed that the new general manager of Juventus, Maurizio Scanavino, has introduced himself to the Bianconeri players today.
Juve’s last president and board of directors resigned weeks ago as the club battles allegations of paying players under the table, among others.
Next month they will appoint a new board, and Scanavino is their new leader who will aim to keep the club in shape to continue winning matches and trophies.
Speaking after his team beat Rijeka 1-0 this afternoon, Allegri said via Tuttomercatoweb:
“Today I spoke with the new CEO Scanavino who introduced himself to the team and staff. Few words but accurate. He reiterated that Juventus is always Juventus, the programs and the ambitions do not change now and they will never change. We are architects of the fate of Juventus on the field and we will work on it. Juventus is part of one of the strongest industrial groups in the world, so the passion for ownership is endless and this is an additional responsibility. I have always been calm, so it makes me sad to read these things every day.
Juve FC says
We have work to do on the pitch, and the players need to come back and continue to win games in the league and other competitions.
We are confident that the organization will choose the right leaders for the present and the future, but the manager and players must be allowed to focus on football matters.
That is why they are employed, and the second half of this season is very important for us as a club, considering how close we are now to the top of the league table.
