This morning, Juventus CEO Beppe Marotta attended the inauguration of the Wins (World International School of Turin) project, where Juventus academy scholars will complete their studies: “A football team is a business phenomenon, but also a symbol of growth. We have 400 boys, but only 5% of them will become a professional footballer. That is why we have identified this development path outside Vinovo.

“This is an important phenomenon because it allows you to overcome the depression of going to school. It is also geared towards reconciling education and football: the goal is not to create players but smart guys who know how to play football to a high standard. It’s important to perform well in everything you do. Cristiano Ronaldo sets the perfect example of professionalism.”
