Serie A giants Juventus are ready to welcome back former chief executive Antonio Giraudo, according to Italian weekly magazine Panorama.
Giraudo was banned from football by a sports tribunal for his role in the 2006 Calciopoli match-fixing scandal and was also sentenced to three years in prison last December after being convicted on charges of criminal association and sporting fraud by an Italian court.
Panorama claims that Giraudo’s strong ties with Margherita Agnelli, the daughter of ex-Juve patron Gianni, could pave the way for his sensational return to the Stadio Olimpico.
The Bianconeri have recently given the role of vice director general to Roberto Bettega, their vice president at the time of the scandal which rocked Italian football.
Former director general Luciano Moggi was also banished from football for five years in 2006 and has recently admitted that he might consider a return to football management once his ban expires next year.
But he insisted that he would only go back to Juve if the current administration, namely president Jean-Claude Blanc, stepped aside and Andrea Agnelli, the nephew of Gianni, be allowed to assume a high-profile role within the club.
Andrea recently visited the team’s training base at Vinovo, along with his cousin and club patron John Elkann.
Andrea had already been linked with a director role at Juve prior to the Calciopoli scandal and Giraudo was said to be pulling the strings back then.
