The entire board of Juventus has astonishingly resigned following a meeting at the Serie A club.
The board, which was chaired by Andrea Agnelli, have left "in the best interest of the company", as stated by the Italian football club.
Agnelli was appointed chairman in 2010 and departs amid intense police investigations into the club's salary situation between 2019 and 2021.

A statement from Juventus reads: "The Board of Directors members, given the centrality and the relevance of the pending legal and technical/accounting matters, considered in the best interest of the Company that Juventus provided itself with a new Board of Directors to address these matters.
"For this purpose, upon proposal of the Chairman Andrea Agnelli and in order to allow the decision on the renewal of the Board to be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting as soon as possible, all the members of the Board of Directors present at the meeting declared to forego their office.
"For the same reasons, each of the three directors with powers (the Chairman of the Board of Directors Andrea Agnelli, the Vice Chairman Pavel Nedved and the Chief Executive Officer Maurizio Arrivabene) has considered appropriate to forego the powers granted to them."
