Interviewed by Tuttosport, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, Juve’s minority shareholder, said, “I believe our company can lend a concrete hand to Juventus. The real question is whether Juventus wants a concrete hand from us. I mean, we are small shareholders right now. I see on X people telling me, “Eh, but hurry up and fix it.” We have a tiny share, so we do what we can, we would love to help, however, it’s all up to the management and ownership. We have stepped up, we are here, we want to support the team. For us it is definitely a really long-term investment because, again, we are fans, and we believe in the huge potential of Juventus. Then we are not the owners, so to change even a comma right now is impossible.”
Juve, le parole di Ardoino

“The ownership has to decide what the strategy is,” he continued, “that is, they really have to think about whether they want to continue to support the team and prove it with facts or they still want to look for a partner who can help them. We are there no matter what. So it’s up to them to decide to what extent and what to do in the end. There have been just a couple of communications, but nothing in depth. What do they think? I would say that we have perceived a non-unbalance on their part. Maybe they simply want to understand who we are. You know, there are a lot of people with a little bit of money who can invest, but then they are not serious, they can disappear after a day, after a year. However, the ownership has to show that they want to focus on the team, which maybe right now the fans do not perceive. Final comment on Agnelli: “The fans perceived more involvement when Andrea Agnelli was there. Then I understand that there were those issues… Lunch with him? No, I never went.” Meanwhile, news about the new coach arrives: “He is very close!” <<<
