Juventus Football Club SpA Chairman Andrea Agnelli and the Italian football team’s entire board of directors resigned late Monday amid a probe into alleged wrongdoing related to the company’s financial filings.
“We are facing a delicate moment as a company and unity has failed,” Agnelli said Monday in a letter to employees, which was viewed by Bloomberg, adding that the exit would provide the team with an opportunity to start over.
