The team's management is facing a big shake-up - all three famous members of the club's board known in Italy as the "Juventus trio" have been removed from their positions due to their involvement in a scandal with referees. Club manager Luciano Moggi, president Roberto Bettega, and administrator Antonio Giraudo have stepped down.
These three individuals, known as the architects of Turin club's success over the past decade, have led "Juventus" to win 6 "Serie A" titles, once the Champions League, and three unsuccessful appearances in the Champions League final.
In recent times, rumors have been circulating in the press that all three board members would resign due to accusations in the media and a police investigation into illegal relationships between Luciano Moggi and referee Pierluigi Pairetto. Telephone conversations between these individuals have been made public, providing evidence of attempts to influence referees.
All of this at least partially confirms long-standing rumors in Italian football about the influence of "Juventus" on referees, as several teams' fans, players, and even managers in Serie A have expressed dissatisfaction with favorable decisions for the Turin club.
The club now should undergo a complete restructuring, and changes in the position of head coach are expected - Fabio Capello, who has recently been linked to the club in the press, will likely leave the team.
