Remembering Giovanni Agnelli

Born 21 years and a day after Juventus’ first ever competitive match, Giovanni Agnelli would ensure that his name forever be associated with the club he presided over from 1947 to 1953 and supported wholeheartedly for the rest of his life.

L’Avvocato, as he was affectionately known, embodied the winning combination of class, style, enterprise and hard work – all values that he successfully instilled at Juventus, ensuring that the Old Lady would establish herself as one of the world’s greatest clubs.

Today, 95 years on from his birth, everyone at Juventus Football Club expresses their eternal gratitude for a man who helped give the Bianconeri the most precious quality of all: a winning mentality.
