Juventus President Andrea Agnelli admits the English Premier League is the model Serie A should look to emulate.

Having fallen to fourth in the UEFA coefficient rankings, Agnelli believes the Italian League must look England as an example of how to revive their fortunes.

“Juventus are among the top 10 clubs in the world,” Agnelli has told today’s shareholders’ meeting.

“However, we’re a long way behind the top clubs in Europe because of the structural limits of Italian football.

“Our club has nonetheless recorded a turnover of over €300m. Matchday revenues abroad are double [Juve’s].

“Liverpool have a main sponsor which operates only in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, and not in Europe. This demonstrates the pulling power of the Premier League, a project which was started 15 years ago.

“New partnerships will allow us to increase revenue, but we must work hand-in-hand with Serie A.

“The governance of Italian football showed its limits last summer, making us look old fashioned and with no chance of winning.

“Teams are sacrosanct, but must be reinforced by second teams, and immigration laws.

“Television money should ensure more fairness and stability.

“The Premier League has once again become a reference point.”
