Yesterday, we saw the end of an era at Juventus, with Andrea Agnelli addressing shareholders for the last time as club president. The chairman resigned along with the rest of his board amid ongoing financial investigations into alleged wrongdoing related to capital gains and salary maneuvering during the Covid-19 pandemic.
While some fans fear Andrea could go down in history as the last Juventus president with the iconic last name “Agnelli”, a report claims we may not have seen the last of the departing boss yet.
Tuttosport (via JuventusNews24) suggested two scenarios that would allow Agnelli to return to Juventus in the future, one way or another.
The first is quite simple. If the resigned president manages to clear his name and be acquitted by the court without further consequences, his path to Continassa would be clear.
On the other hand, the second suggested scenario presents an unusual maneuver. The source claims that Agnelli could buy significant shares in the club, especially if his cousin John Elkann (currently the majority owner of the club) decides to sell his stake.
The report believes that Andrea would do everything possible to prevent Juventus from being bought by foreign investors; instead, he intends to preserve his family property dating to 1923.
