The president of Juventus, Andrea Agnelli, at the press conference of the Juventus club shareholders’ meeting after the approval of the 2019-2020 financial statements as of June 30, 2020, the loss of 89.7 million euros was confirmed, compared to 39.9 million euros. 2018-2019, covered by using the reserve for share premium “Was a bittersweet year– Agnelli begins – both on and off the field because there have been great results but also unexpected disappointments. In January we increased our capital by 300 million with three objectives: to maintain sporting competitiveness, increase the Juve brand and consolidate economic balance. When I think about the field I can’t help but applaud the team, a Nedved, a Paratici who is not here today because he entered the bubble after the positive McKennie case. The ninth championship was a result, given the conditions, that did not find adequate recognition both from us and from the experts. Only in a few years will we realize these nine years. The gains from sponsorships and the Juve brand on Instagram, which surpassed Gucci, becoming the first in Italy, are signs of growth. ”

Agnelli, the disappointments of Juve
“A praise also to Stefano braghin who is the best female soccer coach present in Italy and inUnder 23, with a trophy won and exhibited at the J | Museum. Applause goes to Fabio Pecchia who did a great job, having a U23 who takes home a trophy is something important and unexpected. From a sporting point of view I also remember the disappointments, with two lost finals (Italian Cup and Italian Super Cup, ed) that still burn us and the elimination of Champions League that didn’t satisfy us. “
Agnelli on the restructuring of Juve
“In the restructuring of the company we now have two reports with the Football Area entrusted to Paratici while the Business to Stefano Bertola. Cherubini becomes director of soccer, while Pavel (Nedved, ed) and I will divide the tasks in the area of soccer and business. The objectives are to improve the coexistence between the two areas and the promotion of talents in all areas ”.
Agnelli and the management of Covid
“One element we focused on was the management ofCovid emergency: on the one hand the regulatory part to play and on the other the obligations to play again. When you hear a positive player you scream scandal, but I think it must be said that there is one in Serie A put on screen continuous and positive change is isolated without damaging the system. This implies a significant investment on the part of the clubs to comply with the Federation and UEFA protocols. I want to address a thought to all the people affected by the virus, whether they are relatives, patients and all health personnel ”.
Agnelli on the protocol: “Go ahead also for economic interest”
“If applied correctly, this protocol is sufficient to allow us to finish the season smoothly. I don’t think there is a need to review this, just be diligent in applying the protocol.” My thanks to the competent ministers, to the federal president who allowed us to identify a protocol move along. March and April were intense months to figure out how to play again. To have triumphed and completed the main championships is a great achievement and also to have completed the two main European competitions. I do not hide that there is also a economic interest. We have more precise estimates: we will have the impacts of this situation in the fall of 2021. Looking at estimates that take us to 20% of the audience from now to December and 50% from January to June we have a loss of stadium revenue of about 3 billion, television rights amounting to a billion. For a total of 5-6 billion for the football system. We have seen what the impact of the transfer campaign in the summer window has been and all markets have lost a large part of transfers except England, which is more or less stable ”.
Agnelli: “It is difficult to recover games”
After twenty years of continuous growth of the system, for the first time the turnover of European football is in sharp decline. The estimates lead to the hypothesis that 360 European clubs from the top divisions will need capital increases totaling about 6 billion. I must say that the opportunities, the technological changes and the strengths of the industry remain. We have to manage this year by reviewing growth strategies. We do business through OTT platforms such as UEFATv and LigaSportsTv. Weaknesses that need to be addressed, the calendar is not congested, even more so recovering postponed matches is very difficult. An interesting news yesterday is the Texas Pacific Group fund that would have made an offer to take over the second English league. Or take into account is the review of the governance of the English football system. This leads us to become aware of the interest of financial operators in football and it is absolutely comforting. We have shown great seriousness and convergence, both internationally and nationally. If this same convergence that occurred in the most delicate months is reproduced in the coming months, I am sure that we will emerge stronger ”.
Juve de Agnelli and Sarri
“I have very good memories of Often like a person. He is an educated person, even with a certain sense of humor, with different interests beyond football, which is his first passion. I am happy that he won this championship with us, but he has not created an alchemy with the environment in general. However, he will always be remembered as one of Juventus’ winning coaches. “
Agnelli: “Paratici, Nedved and Cherubini expire”
“Paratici and Cherubini have their contracts that expire in June. But everyone who has federal contracts that expire only on June 30. With the two of them and Nedved we talk about medium and long-term reasoning. I myself have seen media cases often. I don’t have any kind of signal. Fabio, Pavel and Fede have my full confidence and have given me testimony that they want to stay here and together with them in the coming months we will face the challenges we face. “
Agnelli: “I miss the fans in the stadium”
“I have no particular requests to the institutions, the main problem is the stages. But increasing public it must be done responsibly. Our task is to comply with the provisions that are given to us without making any forward filtering. This is a voice that all European clubs lack, but we must have the sensitivity to understand the situation. As a fan, the stadium atmosphere is missing ”.
Agnelli on the coach of Juventus and the Champions League
“The coach has always been judged by the results of the Champions League. You take too much for granted the importance of winning a championship year after year, it should never be taken for granted. We know. Our main objective is to win the championship, win the Italian Cup, win the Super Cup, try to win the Champions League. However, not necessarily winning means having done wrong ”.
Agnelli: “Pirlo? Everyone is waiting for the first defeats”
“Pirlo? It seems to me that everyone is waiting to comment on a couple of losses. Our task is to accompany this initial path that will be full of obstacles with our experience. I am convinced that as soon as we take one, the whole world will try to hit us. I think it is the first modern squad that I see, everyone moves aware of their task, this is the squad that great champions like De Ligt will need in ten years ”.
Juve-Napoli 3-0, Agnelli: “It doesn’t touch me”
“The decision of the Sports Judge? This is a story in which we are a guarantee. This is something between Napoli and the bodies of justice, it is something that does not affect us ”.
Agnelli on positive Ronaldo
“The commitments of the national teams? We must think in the long term. In March, during the lockdown, the clubs shouted about the need to move the European Championship and it was done to allow us to complete the competitions. In April it became known that UEFA would like to resume competitions. If we come to the end of August to point the finger, I am looking forward to defending UEFA’s position. If, on the other hand, it is a question of reshaping the commitments over time, I answer yes. Why Cristiano Ronaldo Shouldn’t he have responded to the summons? Having no competitions to play with, we said that anyone who wanted could have continued in fiduciary isolation at home. They do not break bubbles, they are very resistant. When the national teams call, the players care, it is a dream and luckily it is still alive even for those who already have many appearances. And this is beautiful, it is a pleasure to answer the call of the national teams ”.
Agnelli responds to Spadafora
Agnelli’s response to Spadafora who said Ronaldo violated protocol: “You have to call the Ministry of Health and the Interior and ask them to explain what they violated. For Juventus, I apply federal protocol. If one is caught at 150 kilometers per hour from the traffic radar, I cannot explain why the radar it was there and why it worked. You have to ask the competent authorities. I am a sports director and I take care of that. Market? I am satisfied or not at the end of the season. I assign powers and objectives and at the end of the season I judge. Having said that, I can say that the guys who arrived are nice, available and well integrated ”.
