“2024 will be the year to accelerate our goals”

“If you know our fans, our players and our spirit, the words “to the end” will not sound new to you. He embodies the club’s determination to keep fighting and overcome adversity, a belief held by Edoardo Agnelli when he was appointed president on 24 July 1923.“. This is what John says Elkann in a letter to shareholders. “From then on – he explains – it is the love story of the century began between a black and white family and my family. A bond that in 2023 we celebrated with generations of fans in Italy and around the world, all united by the love of Juventus. Go to Juve“. The President of Exor then continues: “2023 represented a transitional year. Under its new board of directors led by Gianluca Ferrero, the aim was to resolve the issues that were facing Sports Justice, in Italy and Europe. So the 2023/24 season is Year Zero, where the club is laying the foundations for its return, on and off the field.“.

Elkann concluded: “Cristiano Giuntoli, who arrived in 2023 and was named Sporting Director of the Year at the Globe Soccer Awards for his work with Napoli last year, will help shape the future of Juventus. The team is aiming to return to the Champions League and has already confirmed its presence at the expanded FIFA Club World Cup in the summer of 2025. Focusing more on the young talents of the Next Gen, Juventus aims to build a sustainable cost structure in compliance with the new UEFA regulations“. The president of Exor then also considered Ferrari: “2024 will be the year in which we will accelerate our goal of building great companies through proper coordination of ownership, governance and leadership. Scuderia Ferrari provides a good example of such progress, having started the new F1 season with several podium finishes.“.

Elkann then he mentioned Hamilton: “For success, it is important to remember the words of Lewis Hamilton: ‘In racing there are always things to learn, every day. There’s always room for improvement, and I think that goes for everything in life.’ His words recall one of Exor’s moral pairs: Lust and Humility“. Finally he added: “Five models were launched in 2023, including the Ferrari Roma Spider and the revised 499P based on the 499P hypercar that won the century edition of Le Mans in June, as part of the Wec (World Endurance Championship). After twenty-four hours of fierce competition, amid difficult conditions and with mental determination, Alessandro Pier Guidi, Antonio Giovinazzi and James Calado won at the end of 342 laps at the famous French circuit. It was the complete return of the Racehorse, after an absence of fifty years, with his tenth overall victory in this legendary race. The efforts of the technicians, engineers and drivers, as well as the total dedication of the team and its fans, highlight Ferrari’s ability to combine performance and passion like no other.“.
