Exor boss John Elkann declares Juventus commitment

Exor boss John Elkann says they remain committed to Juventus.

After Juve's board resignation, there's been suggestions in the media that Elkann plans to sell, despite his family running the Old Lady since 1923.

Juventus does not need fresh capital," Elkann said during the annual Investor and Analyst Call.

“We are in a situation where there is a clear direction going forward, as we already announced yesterday. A new Board of Directors will be appointed in January and the President will be Gianluca Ferrero, who will know how to approach various issues.

“The club will also have a very capable director general in the areas where Juventus are present. We have a great, experienced coach like Max Allegri.

“Football is a sector of great value and we think with the ingredients that Juventus have, this can be an even more valuable club than it already is today."
