Luciano Moggi Urges Jean-Claude Blanc To Resign As Juventus President

‘Lucianone’ says Juve are paying a high price for their directors’ ineptness.

Ex-Juventus director general Luciano Moggi has blamed the Bianconeri’s wretched season on the club’s ‘incompetent’ management, singling out president Jean-Claude Blanc for particular blame.

The Turin giants’ league campaign has fallen by the wayside after suffering six defeats in their last eight outings and Moggi has no doubt where to point the finger.

“Juve are paying the price for the inadequacy and incompetence of their directors,” he slammed on Gold Sport yesterday.

“You can clearly see that the players are not relaxed and have lost their self-confidence. The club lacks an influential reference point.

“[Director of sport Alessio] Secco should go back to acting as a team manager and Blanc should step down with immediate effect.

“And to think that Blanc once said that football management was easier than he had thought. Perhaps he was thinking about someone else’s team…

“They have destroyed a side which was among the best in the world when it comes to organisation and competence.”

Moggi was driven out of the club by the new hierarchy after being banned from football for five years in the wake of the 2006 Calciopoli scandal.

“They have condemned us publicly and even hit our families, but what goes around comes around,” he roared.

“With this management it will be impossible to restore the normality which is suitable for a great side like Juve.”
