Former Juventus chief Luciano Moggi admits the board's resignation yesterday took him by surprise.

Juve president Andrea Agnelli and his board have resigned amid financial investigations.

Moggi told 7 Gold: "I am surprised, I did not expect it.

"Who could be the president after Andrea Agnelli? I do not exclude that it may be a woman, not excluding that this revolution may be at Juventus."

Moggi is said to be pushing Evelina Christillin's name, an Italian sports politician and former executive president of Italy's 2006 winter Olympics bid.
