Category: <b>General</b><br><br>Giovanni Cobolli Gigli has been officially elected as the new President of Juventus at a shareholders meeting on Thursday.
Gigli takes over from Franzo Grande Stevens, who has been made honorary President along with club legend Giampiero Boniperti, as the outfit prepares for the post-Triade era at the Delle Alpi.
“We have given ourselves the objective of being winners, sympathetic and transparent,” Gigli said as an entire new board of directors was signed in today.
“We want to culminate our relationship with the city of Turin, with Italy, in the knowledge that we are one of the principle Italian brands in the world.”
Jean Claude Blanc, the club’s new CEO, added: “Transparency and team work will be our key words.
“I think the new board demonstrates the clear determination to look towards a new future with maximum respect for ethical and sporting values.”
It’s understood that Gigli, Blanc, former Juve midfielder Marco Tardelli and ex-volleyball tactician Gian Paolo Montali will form a ‘sporting committee’ within the outfit.
The latter stated that he was keen for the once mythical Juventus spirit to reappear after the ‘coldness’ of the club when under the guidance of Roberto Bettega, Antonio Giraudo and Luciano Moggi over the last 11 years.
“The Coach should transmit the Juve spirit,” Montali stated even if he was giving little away with regard to whether Fabio Capello would still be in the hotseat next term.
“It is not a question of names, but typology. The way I see it, the Coach will be a central figure.
“As for my role, I have a lot to learn but this is a privilege for me which excites. It is different from my work as a volleyball Coach, but I will look to be competent with humility.”
Capello could be replaced as tactician by former Juve man Didier Deschamps or ex-Milan boss Alberto Zaccheroni.<br><br>Source: Football Italia
