Category: <b>General</b><br><br>Juventus today pledged an extra £71.6m to help reinforce the club when it returns to Serie A and confirmed Didier Deschamps at the helm.
The Board of Directors voted for an increase in capital that was almost double the anticipated figure, so the side will immediately be able to offer big money contracts for star names this summer.
Majority shareholders IFIL pledged the increase of its 60 per cent share and the final details over how the rest of the investment will be split is to be made in April.
“Our development plan has as its objective the achievement of levels of sporting excellence tied to the quality of the squad and its technical staff,” explained a statement in a Press conference.
“This is to guarantee competitiveness in the top flight and at international level, reinforcing every area of the squad and assuring stability within the staff.”
Therefore Juventus have confirmed Deschamps as their Coach for next season, even though he is increasingly unpopular among the fans.
“I spoke with the players to explain our plans and saw an important response from them,” added John Elkann, one of the heirs to the Agnelli empire.
It’s a key development, as stars such as David Trezeguet, Gianluigi Buffon and Mauro Camoranesi have often warned they will only remain if the team is able to compete at the highest level.
“Our family has always been close to the club and never denied its presence. Today we have given tangible proof of how much we hold Juve in our hearts.”
Director General Jean-Claude Blanc had warned they would not be able to challenge for Scudetto and Champions League for another five years, but Elkann is more optimistic.
“I don’t know if Juventus will be in the top four next season. For now, let us focus on winning the Serie B Championship, especially as the last two games were far from easy.”
Alessandro Del Piero acted as spokesman for the team. “We wish to thank the ‘family’, as it was an important gesture for those of us who decided to stay on during this difficult year.”
The increase in capital also includes plans to “develop and get the most out of the Juventus brand” as well as redeveloping the Stadio Delle Alpi for the potential Euro 2012 Championships.<br><br>Source: Football Italia
