Miralem Pjanic has written an open letter to Andrea Agnelli after the latter resigned as Juventus president.
Pjanic played for the Bianconeri between 2016 and 2020, winning several trophies as part of the club’s celebrated midfield under Max Allegri.
He moved to Barcelona in a trade for Arthur Melo in the summer of 2020, but remains close to Juve.
The Bosnian enjoyed working at Juve under the chairmanship of Agnelli, who often made sure the team had everything it needed to succeed in domestic and European competition.
His resignation comes as Juventus face tough legal battles over falsified accounts, but Pjanic insists he was a great president who ensured the club succeeded every year.
The midfielder wrote on Instagram:
“A great president is close to the team when it wins but especially when it loses. A great president is close to the players and is ready to make painful decisions for the good of the team. Honored to have played for him @juventus and I was lucky to have her as president. Thank you for everything Pres”
Juve FC says
Agnelli is one of the best presidents we will ever have and deserves credit for his work at the club.
Winning nine consecutive league titles and more than 20 trophies is not an easy task and the club’s new president will find it difficult to come close to some of his achievements in the coming seasons.
