On Tuesday, Andrea Agnelli celebrates her 47th birthday. Unfortunately for the Juventus president, who recently resigned, his special day is hardly going to be a happy occasion after having fallen on hard times recently.
The former boss left his position last Monday along with the rest of the board due to an ongoing legal and financial crisis that put the club under investigation.
However, Juventus as a club remains grateful for the great efforts of the former president.
In a statement posted on the club’s official website, Juventus paid tribute to Agnelli, describing him as the visionary who led the club to great heights.
The club ensures that, despite all that is written in the newspapers, Andrea will always represent a prosperous time in the Bianconeri history book.
“Today is the birthday of our president, Andrea Agnelli,” read the club’s official statement.
“It is not a day like any other, nor a moment like any other.
“Much has been written, much has been said, much will still be said, and what we want to say today, to borrow a term dear to Andrea, is simply ‘thank you.’
“While flipping through the pages of the newspapers, you can risk losing sight of other pages, those of the history books. A story that unites our club to a single family for almost a century, in which Juventus became a legend, to later consolidate that status from 2010, thanks to an unprecedented era, on and off the pitch.
“All of this is possible if you are driven by a vision.
“A clear and precise vision.
“Andrea Agnelli has not only shown that she has always had that vision, but has turned it into a distinctive feature of hers, leading Juventus by the hand towards horizons that were unthinkable shortly before. On the court – and it’s enough to scroll through such a long list of honors that you risk forgetting some, and outside – everything that is before our eyes today, and after a few years seems almost “normal”, like a new Visual identity. , as the new modern infrastructure, as a look at worlds “different” to football, as sports projects never seen before in Italy, is the result of that vision.
“A vision that has had, and continues to have, the drive towards the future as its hallmark because, to borrow another concept dear to Andrea, after achieving victory, you immediately start thinking about the next one.
“Remembering this lesson is the best way to wish our President a happy birthday.”
The president resigned and took office in 2010 amid the club’s on-field results crisis. He helped Juventus establish a nine-year domestic winning dynasty between 2012 and 2020.
