Blanc wants third star
Juventus President elect Jean-Claude Blanc says he wants his side to win the Scudetto soon so it can stitch a third star on its shirt.
The comments are quite controversial as they ignore the decision to revoke two of Juventus’ Serie A titles after the Calciopoli scandal in 2006.
Officially, the Bianconeri have won 27 Scudetti, the most in history, but every Juventino still counts the other two, making the total 29.
As part of Italian football history, every team that wins 10 Scudetti is entitled to wear a commemorative star on their shirt.
If Juventus win one more, Blanc intends to stitch a third to mark the 30th in the club’s history. Some pundits say it’s a populist move of a new President.
“I told the shareholders that our primary objective is that of achieving a third star. You know that on all our official documents there are 29 Scudetti, with two asterisks for those that they have taken away from us,” Blanc said at a Juventus Press Conference.
“But for us and our fans the third star will arrive with the next Scudetto. And anyway, now we are thinking about winning it, the next Scudetto, that is,” he
concluded.
