Juventus' recent financial statements were under scrutiny by prosecutors and Italian market regulator Companies and Exchange Commission in the past months for alleged false accounting and market manipulation. The club acknowledged the so-called "salary maneuvers" from the 2019-20 and 2020-21 fiscal years, adding that "the complexity of such profiles on valuation elements may be subject to different interpretations." As a result, Agnelli informed the board and the Juventus employees about his decision to step down and to start a process for a new board in the coming weeks. The day after, the owners of the club, the Exor Group, announced the decision to appoint Gianluca Ferrero as new Chairman of Juventus and a new board will be named on Jan. 18.
The Club Financial Control Body First Chamber of UEFA will "investigate on the alleged financial violations that were recently made public as a result of the proceedings led by the Italian Companies and Exchange Commission and the public prosecutor in Turin", the official statement stated.
