Andrea Agnelli & Pavel Nedved among Juventus directors to offer shock resignation

Juventus have been rocked by the stunning resignations of their entire board, including president Andrea Agnelli and vice-president Pavel Nedved.

Numerous reports in Italy claim that the entire Juventus board of directors offered their shock resignations during a meeting on Monday evening.

CEO Maurizio Arrivabene is expected to remain at the club and assume control of Juventus while the new boardroom structure is finalised over the coming months.

Agnelli became Juventus chairman in 2010 and is also vice-chairman of the European Super League, having represented one of the three remaining supporters of the competition alongside Real Madrid and Barcelona.

His attachment to the Super League has attracted significant criticism, as has his management of Juventus, who have spent heavily in recent years but have fallen behind their rivals, both in Serie A and in Europe.

Juventus finished fourth in Serie A last season and entered the World Cup break in third, ten points behind leaders Napoli.
