  • Juventus Football Club: from a Soccer to an Entertainment Company
    LUISS TEACHING CASES Juventus Football Club: From a Soccer to an Entertainment Company Alessandro Zattoni Luiss University Rumen Pozharliev Luiss University TEACHING CASES 2020 ISBN 978-88-6105-575-9 Introduction The season 2018/19 finishes with a bittersweet flavor. The 20th of April Juventus wins – for the 35th time1 and for the 8th straight - the Italian premier league (Serie A). As the team has knocked out of both the Champions league in the quarterfinals by Ajax and the Italian cup in the eight-fi- nals by Atalanta, it is time for Juventus’ president Andrea Agnelli and the top managers to think about the future. After few weeks of doubts and rumors, the 17th of May Juventus announces that Massimiliano Allegri will not be the coach of the team in the next season. The day after Juventus organizes a highly emotional press meeting with the president and the coach to communicate the decision. After one month, the 16th of June Juventus announces that the new trainer will be Maurizio Sarri, previously coach of Napoli (2015-18) and of Chelsea (2018/19). The new coach – that won the last European League with Chelsea - has a 3-years contract and the ambition to lead the club to new victories. During the Summer, Juventus buys and sells several players, with a net loss of about €90 million (=-181,7+92). Among the new players there are talents like Matthijs de Ligt, Adrien Rabiot, Aaron Ramsey and Danilo. At the same time, some promising players like Cancelo, Kean and Spinazzola leave the team. Juventus’ objective is to continue to win and to launch another assault to the Champions League, but also to further develop the business model and to increase its brand awareness over the world.

  • Turin, 26 March 2020 Dear Friends, Dear ECA Members, My Thoughts
    European Club Association Route de St-Cergue 9 1260 Nyon, Switzerland www.ecaeurope.com Turin, 26 March 2020 Dear Friends, Dear ECA Members, My thoughts are with you at this time oF unprecedented challenge. All our lives are being turned upside down in a manner that none of us could have ever imagined. We are all worried about those closest to us and maintaining a life of relative normality. Our number one priority must be to stay safe, protect our families and loved ones and support our communities. We are all Football executives responsible for the well-being and sustainability of the clubs we manage, which are faced with a real existential threat. As Football is now at a standstill, so are our revenue flows on which we are dependent to pay our players, staff and other operating costs. No one is immune and timing is of the essence. Meeting our concerns will be the biggest challenge our game and industry has ever faced. The eFForts and Focus of all stakeholders are set towards one clear goal – to alleviate our industry from the damage COVID-19 is reaping on us all whilst doing everything in our power to protect a society under threat. ECA has two clear objectives in the work we are doing: (1) defining realistic strategies to resume playing football at domestic and European levels with public and player health as our central concern and (2) defining systems to help manage club financials in this time of social and economic crisis. Some important decisions have already been taken including the postponement of both EURO 2020 and the finals of UEFA’s Club Competitions.

Most notably, Barcelona leapfrogs both Manchester United and Bayern Munich to return to second position behind Real Madrid, becoming only the third club to break the €500m revenue barrier in the process. Bayern Munich drop to fifth overall, overtaken by Paris Saint-Germain. 2014/15 saw substantial revenue growth for the top 20 clubs in the Money League overall, with the aggregate annual revenue of these clubs amounting to a total of €6.6 billion, representing an increase of 8% on the previous year’s top 20. The next significant milestone of €7 billion should be surpassed in the current 2015/16 season, with considerable further growth towards €8 billion in 2016/17.

  • Letters to Shareholders – First 10 Years Collection 2.82 MB
    Letters to Shareholders First 10 years INVESTOR DAY 21 November 2019 I’m grateful for the support you have shown Exor during our first decade as we’ve worked to change our scope, form and organization. We have, however, not changed our purpose, which is to build great companies, and we look forward to continuing to do that with your support. I have enjoyed writing our annual letters to you as they are a special moment each year to pause and learn from our past and to think about our future. Going through those letters, what is reassuring is that there has been consistency between the intentions we expressed and the outcomes we achieved - something we are determined to maintain going forward. As we have reflected on our next decade, we have spent time defining the culture we’ve created within Exor, which combines an entrepreneurial spirit, financial discipline, clarity of purpose and a set of shared values. We believe these will continue to provide us with a strong base on which to build and create value for all of our stakeholders. I would like to conclude with a special thank you to all my colleagues both within Exor and also throughout our companies for their many achievements to date and, more importantly, in anticipation of the things we will achieve together in the future. 2009 Dear Shareholders, 2009 was a very significant year for our Company. First and foremost, in March we were able to complete the merger between IFIL and IFI, the two historical holding companies listed on the Italian Stock Exchange, to create Exor, a company now 47% held by the market and 53% by Giovanni Agnelli e C., the private company fully owned by my family.
