John Elkann’s recent communication to Exor shareholders isn’t just another corporate update; it’s a profound reflection on Juventus Football Club’s journey and its aspirations for the future, with Cristiano Giuntoli at the helm of change.
“In 2023, we faced transitions and challenges,” Elkann states, emphasizing the pivotal nature of the year. “Under Gianluca Ferrero’s leadership, our new Board of Directors navigated legal battles with Sporting Justice, both domestically and internationally.”
John Elkann paints the picture of the current season, 2023/24, as the dawn of a new era – the ‘Year Zero’ – where Juventus actively lays the foundation for its resurgence, both on and off the pitch.
Central to this vision is Cristiano Giuntoli, hailed by Elkann as the catalyst for Juventus’ revival.

“Giuntoli, recognized as the Best Sporting Director of the Year at the Globe Soccer Awards, brings invaluable experience from his tenure at Napoli,” Elkann highlights.
“His mandate now extends to shaping Juventus’ trajectory, focusing on regaining a spot in the Champions League and positioning the club for the FIFA expanded Club World Cup in 2025.”
Crucially, Juventus’ strategy revolves around nurturing young talents within its Next Gen, who have already proven their mettle.
“Our focus on youth aligns with our ethos and aims to build a sustainable future, compliant with UEFA’s evolving regulations,” Elkann stresses.
Amidst plans for renewal, Elkann invokes a poignant sentiment deeply ingrained in Juventus’ ethos – Fino Alla Fine’.
“This phrase symbolizes our unwavering resolve,” he asserts, recalling the legacy of Edoardo Agnelli, whose presidency in 1923 marked the beginning of a century-long saga of love and loyalty between Juventus and its global fanbase.
Ultimately, Elkann’s missive serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Juventus Football Club and the unwavering commitment of its stakeholders, both past and present, as they navigate the winds of change towards a brighter tomorrow.
