Giovanni Cobolli Gigli is set to step down as president of Juventus.

Juve sources have told FirenzeViola.it that it has been agreed Cobolli Gigli will be replaced by Jean-Claude Blanc as president.

The changeover will be announced on October 12 and made official on the 26th.

Juve insiders insist the succession was always planned and has nothing to do with the team's recent form slump.
