In the biggest behind-the-scenes fiasco to hit the Turin-based club since the Calciopolli scandal in 2006, Juventus confirmed that no less than 10 of Juventus' higher-ups are set to leave the club.
The board consisting of Andrea Agnelli, Pavel Nedved, Laurance Debroux, Massimo Della Ragione, Kathryn Fink, Daniela Marilungo, Francesco Roncaglio, Giorgio Tacchia, Suzanne Heywood, and Maurizio Arrivabene took a unanimous decision to resign their posts following record losses of around €254.3 million posted by the club in the last financial year.
LaLiga reacts
As part of its campaign to promote financially sustainable football in Europe, LaLiga continues to pursue these complaints against Juventus and demands immediate sporting sanctions to be applied to the club by the relevant authorities.
LaLiga has long been a major proponent for the implementation, application, and enforcement of strong financial sustainability rules in football.
