The Bianconeri President has urged the players to keep their focus on the field, and has stated that the club will continue to pursue its objectives of glory despite the turmoil.
Andrea Agnelli has intimated Juventus and their fans to expect a difficult campaign in the upcoming year, due to the ongoing trial of Antonio Conte and some of their key players due to their links with match-fixing probe.
The Old Lady manager is currently being charged for failing to report an attempt at match fixing, and the ongoing probe also includes the name of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leonardo-Bonucci-c22064 who could face a long-term ban.
Moreover, the Bianconeri coach recently tried to settle for a plea bargain, but the appeal was rejected by the Disciplinary Committee judges as insufficient.
The tactician has refused to go with another plea bargain and will pursue his claim of innocence, failure in which can result in a 15-month ban.
Juventus will have the added responsibilities of UEFA Champions League in the upcoming season, and the absence of their all-important manager could be a big loss for the team.
Andrea Agnelli was of the view that the upcoming season will come with its unique challenges, and urged the players to brace for a difficult season.
The Old Lady chief stressed upon the importance for the players to keep their focus on the game, and insisted that the club will not compromise on its objectives of glory for the next season.
While talking to the press, the patron of the Turin giants said:
“It will be a complex and difficult season, but the concentration on performances on the field remains high with the objective to confirm ourselves as winners in May 2013.”
Conte faces a strange situation as he will remain guilty until proven innocent, despite the fact that he has the testimony of 23 Siena players exonerating him from the charge.
Agnelli went on to criticise the sporting justice system of FIGC, insisting that the structure is old-fashioned and incapable of addressing the modern needs.
The Bianconeri chief was adamant that the judges have robbed the respectable professionals of any opportunity to defend their dignity and honour.
The President maintained that the club will continue to stand behind Conte, no matter what path he chooses to take.
