Andrea Agnelli (Italian pronunciation: [anˈdrɛːa aɲˈɲɛlli];[1][2] born 6 December 1975) is an Italian businessman. Since May 2010, Agnelli has served as chairman of Italian association football club Juventus,[3][4] which returned to Italian football dominance throughout the 2010s with nine consecutive record-breaking Serie A titles,[5][6][7] along with four consecutive national doubles and one domestic treble.[8] Under Agnelli's presidency, Juventus also returned to European competitiveness, reaching one UEFA Europa League semi-final and two UEFA Champions League finals.[9][10] In November 2022, he resigned his positions,[11][12] amid the Plusvalenze investigation.[13][14][15]

A member of the industrialist Agnelli family, he was a board member of Exor and Stellantis.[16] Appointed to the UEFA Executive Committee in 2015, Agnelli served as executive member and chairman of the European Club Association from 2017 to 2021,[17] when he resigned to join the European Super League project.[18][19]
