Agnelli surprisingly announced that he would retire from all of his family’s publicly traded companies.
“Having completed such an important part of my life, I want to turn the tide. As such, I will resign at the shareholders’ meetings of the public companies in which I have an interest,” Agnelli said.
In his lengthy farewell speech, he also defended the failed plans to create a Super League. “I still believe that European football needs structural reforms,
otherwise, it will decline in favor of a single dominant league, the Premier League,” stressed Agnelli.
