Agnelli: "We will wait for the decision of the European Court"

The Juventus President has once again defended the cause of the European Super League

Andrea Agnelli, President of Juventus

On Thursday, a long speech by Andrea Agnelli, Juventus president, took place at the Financial Times Forum in London. "The Super League is not a failure. It is the collective work of twelve teams, not one person. Twelve clubs have signed a 120-page contract and it is still binding on eleven of them."


On football "Such tournaments have been planned since I was a teenager. Last year was the first time twelve clubs made a joint statement. It was a deep cry of alarm, to create a sustainable system to avoid ending The unsustainable system has remained and now, we await the judgment of the EU Court of Justice which will be able to define whether the industry in which we operate is free and transparent, or whether the current regulator is monopolistic and does not give us adequate structure. I have great confidence in the judgment of the EU Court of Justice ".


On the words of Tebas (on the comparison with Putin for Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona) and on the Superlega project "We live in an industry that generates 25 billion in taxes, in which a million people work, is a catalyst for European identity. For me today European football is in a desperate situation and needs reforms. I don't want to answer questions about Tebas, because his words qualify him. On the Super League, then, I would like to add two things. A month before the launch of the project, at the UEFA Congress, on my account there was a check for eligibility in the Executive Committee: in the verification I specified that I was studying alternative projects outside the UEFA system and the answer I received is that I could be confirmed in the Executive Committee, therefore to the UEFA knew that I was working in that sense. Furthermore, I had obviously signed an NDA with the other clubs, as is normal in operations of this type: therefore, I could not communicate everything externally. "


On the relationship of trust with football and fans Do many think that I have betrayed their trust? I represent a family that has owned Juventus for 99 years, when I meet someone on the street they don't tell me anything about this and even here nobody has pointed it out to me. Perhaps the Spaniard who spoke earlier (Tebas, ed) thinks that I have betrayed his trust, he does.


The Superlega project had been launched and had not been used as a threat or as a willingness to seek compromise, as has been the case in the past. Compromise is no longer a choice, reforms are needed. The question that needs to be asked is whether the monopoly regulator can run industry worth 75 billion.


"I believe not. We want to have the freedom to create a competition. I will sit down and support transparent governance. I will wait for the European Council of Justice to tell us if the current body is fit for purpose. If I see Juventus playing in the UEFA Champions League in the next five years?".
