Giuseppe Marotta announces Juventus departure

Juventus CEO, Giuseppe Marotta, is set to leave the club by the end of October.

Shortly, after the Bianconeriโ€™s 3-1 victory over title rivals Napoli, Marotta released a statement via the clubโ€™s official site, confirming the decision.

โ€œThe club is carrying out an extensive renewal,โ€ the 61-year-old said. โ€œMy mandate as chief executive comes to an end on 25 October and the list of board members, which will be presented on Monday, will not contain my name.โ€

Marotta was appointed to the club in 2010 when president Andrea Agnelli took over. Under his tenure, the club has won seven consecutive Serie A titleโ€”a record; four Coppa Italia titles, three Italian Super Cups, while also reaching the Champions League final twice.

โ€œFor the time being I will remain in place as chief executive but I wanted to make this statement in order to avoid any speculation. I will assess my position along with the club president in the coming days,โ€ the statement further read.

Marotta was recently voted as the best executive in football, at the World Football Summit, held in Madrid. โ€œIโ€™ve had eight wonderful years here, full of success, and Juventus will always remain in my heart,โ€ he added.
