Juventus CEO Opens Up on Decision to Step Down & Hints Departure Was Forced Upon Him

Juventus CEO Giuseppe Marotta has suggested that the decision for him to step down from his role with the Serie A champions was not necessarily a mutual one.

After Juventus' 3-1 victory over Napoli on Saturday, Marotta announced that he would be leaving the club on October 25th, the end of his current contract. This comes after eight years of service with the Old Lady, whom he joined from Sampdoria in 2010.

However, according to Marotta, the decision not to renew his contract wasn't necessarily a mutual one and in an interview with Rai Sport, as per Football Italia, he indicated that it was entirely the club's decision.
