Luciano Moggi

Luciano Moggi, born on July tenth, nineteen thirty-seven, is a prominent figure in the world of Italian football, having served as a sports agent and executive. His illustrious career includes significant roles at renowned clubs such as Roma, Lazio, Torino, Napoli, and Juventus. Under his leadership, these teams achieved remarkable success, including six Serie A titles—five with Juventus and one with Napoli—alongside three Coppa Italia victories and five Supercoppa Italiana titles.

Moggi's tenure at Juventus was particularly noteworthy, as he guided the club to triumph in prestigious tournaments, including the UEFA Champions League, the Intercontinental Cup, the UEFA Super Cup, and the Intertoto Cup. His influence on the sport extended beyond the pitch, as he later transitioned into a freelance journalist, commentator, and television guest.

However, Moggi's career was marred by controversy when he became embroiled in the Calciopoli scandal in May two thousand six. This scandal sparked widespread debate, particularly regarding the focus on Juventus and Moggi himself. The ensuing trials in Naples revealed the involvement of several other clubs, yet many could not be prosecuted due to the statute of limitations. Ultimately, Moggi was absolved of some charges, but in December two thousand thirteen, he received a sentence of two years and four months in prison.

In March two thousand fifteen, Italy's Supreme Court of Cassation annulled the appeal sentence and canceled remaining charges related to Calciopoli without a new trial, citing the statute of limitations. Furthermore, he was acquitted of criminal conspiracy in a separate trial concerning GEA World, which concluded in January two thousand fourteen. In March two thousand twenty, Moggi took his case to the European Court of Human Rights, seeking justice for the conduct of the trials.
