Early life[edit]
Agnelli is the son of late Juventus F.C. chairman and senator of the Italian
Republic Umberto Agnelli, CEO of FIAT from 1970 to 1976, and Donna
Allegra Caracciolo di Castagneto (b. 1945), first cousin of Marella Agnelli, born Donna
Marella Caracciolo di Castagneto and daughter of Filippo Caracciolo, 8th Prince di
Castagneto, 3rd Duke di Melito, and a hereditary Patrician of Naples (1903–1965).
Marella, widow of Agnelli's uncle Gianni, and Allegra and, therefore, Andrea, are both
members of an old Neapolitan noble family that hold the titles of Prince of Castagneto
and Duke of Melito, among others.
Andrea was the last male member of the family to carry the Agnelli surname until the
birth of his son Giacomo. He studied at St Clare's in Oxford (not a college of the
university), England, and then at Bocconi University in Milan.
Career[edit]
After university, Agnelli started his career in the business world in England and France
at companies including Iveco and Auchan Hypermarché. He also spent several years
in Switzerland working in marketing and development for Ferrari Idea S.A.
and Lausanne-based Philip Morris International.
Juventus F.C.[edit]
In May 2010, he was appointed Chairman of the board of directors of Juventus by his
first cousin John Elkann, becoming the fourth member of the Agnelli family to run the
football club after his father, his uncle and his grandfather. [4] Elkann had come under
criticism from Juventus fans for the club's poor results during the 2009–10 season and
many ultras saw Agnelli as the "rightful" heir due to his family's long-time association
with the club. Despite entering the job during a period when the club was still dealing
with the aftermath of the infamous Calciopoli scandal, he is credited with overseeing the
club's transition into the new stadium and balancing their finances in wake of
the ongoing recession ravaging Italy.[5][6] One of his first acts as new chairman was to
appoint Sampdoria duo Giuseppe Marotta as Director of Sport and Luigi Delneri as new
coach.
On 22 May 2011, Agnelli appointed former captain and fan favourite Antonio Conte as
the new manager of Juventus, replacing Delneri. The same season Juventus won the
first scudetto undefeated under Agnelli.[7] Since then, Juventus won nine scudetti in a
row as of 2019–20, a record in Serie A, including four Coppa Italia titles in a row
since 2014–15.
On 8 September 2015, Agnelli was re-elected as a member of the European Club
Association executive board, a position he has held since 2012. He was also appointed
by the executive board to join the UEFA Executive Committee on behalf of the
association, to represent its 220 member clubs alongside re-elected chairman Karl-
Heinz Rummenigge for 2015–17.[8][9]
In April 2021, Agnelli resigned from his positions as ECA chairman and UEFA Executive
Committee, becoming a vice-chairman of The Super League.[10]
Legal issues[edit]
In 2014, some of Juventus' senior management, including Agnelli, were investigated by
the Public prosecutor's office of Turin on the management of tickets at the Juventus
Stadium,[11] about the alleged infiltration of the 'Ndrangheta in the commercial
management of the company's tickets;[12] the public ministers of Turin did not formalise
criminal charges against Juventus or its members,[11] closing the investigation three
years later with a filing request as there were no links between the Juventus
management and the groups and/or individual people involved in organised crime.[13] On
18 March 2017, following the opening of a lawsuit by a prosecutor from the Turin Public
Prosecutor's Office, Agnelli was referred by the FIGC's Attorney General along with
three other club executives.[14] The following 15 September, the FIGC reformulated its
allegations, excluding a presumed Mafia association from the members of the
incriminated club after the prosecutor Giuseppe Pecoraro's intervention to the Antimafia
Commission in April;[15] the prosecutor asked for sanctions for the meetings of Agnelli
with ultra groups and the sale of the tickets by the rest of the offenders beyond the limit
allowed per person (thus favouring ticket scalping).[16] On 25 September, Agnelli was
banned for one year and fined €20,000, while Juventus were fined €300,000 for selling
tickets to ultras, however alleged connections to organised crime were not present in
the ruling.[17] On 18 December, Agnelli's ban was lifted, however he was required to pay
a €100,000 fine, while the fine against Juventus doubled to €600,000. [18]

Personal life[edit]
On 27 August 2005, he married Emma Winter in a Roman Catholic ceremony in Villar
Perosa (Piedmont, Italy) at the church of San Pietro in Vincoli. The wedding reception
was held at Villa Agnelli, Donna Marella Agnelli's estate in Villar Perosa.[19] The couple
have two children: Baya Agnelli (born on 24 May 2005 in Turin)[20] and Giacomo Dai
Agnelli (born 16 December 2011 in Turin).[21]
