Marotta reports to him, so yeah, I'd hope and expect him to discuss and sanction what Marotta wants to do.

Still, I have the feeling his appointment was nothing but a PR stunt to shut up the critics and isn't much more than a figurehead.
That's different from him vetoing transfers. I'm sure Marotta did have to explain hismself to Agnelli.

Agnelli: «The group is being created»

It was the first management meeting which was held at the construction site of the new stadium, in the offices of the works directors and was the opportunity to show the board members the state of the works.

Andrea Agnelli, at the end of the management meeting met the journalists: «Here you are seeing the Juve of the future – said the President - . Today we visited the construction site together with the board members. We can say that this is the first day in the life of the new stadium, an avant-garde stadium, on the level of the main European teams, open 7 days a week. In Italy we are the first club to reach such an objective».

The President then spoke of football: «The present situation is how I expected it to be. We knew some time would be necessary, a few months are needed for the sports project to take off. The squad is not under discussion. We based ourselves on young players and therefore it is normal that they have less experience but we must give them time».

Agnelli has no doubts with regards to what the team needs to find: «The team is conscious of the quality and must simply find consistency. There is harmony. It can be seen that a group is being created. This can be understood from many things, including the fact that even yesterday the team fought till the very end and then went towards the stands to receive the applause of the supporters: it is a sign that they want to return to being Juve». The final comment is dedicated to the supporters: «They understood what has been done in recent months, they understand that the lads are living through a transformation and must amalgamate besides seeing that they are running on the field».
