Jean-Claude Blanc

He managed the Olympics, the (Winter Games), the Tour de France, the Paris Dakar, the French Open, the Davis Cup and has been the Chairman and CEO of Juventus.

After earning his MBA at Harvard, Blanc then became the CEO between 1994 and 2000 of Amauy Sport Organization (ASO), a branch of a media company owning and operating the main sporting events in France in cycling, motor racing, and athletics (Tour de France, Paris/Roubaix, the Paris Dakar race, Paris Marathon, etc.)

During his tenure, the French Open added an extra weekend of Grand Slam tennis by starting the tournament on a Sunday instead of a Monday.

This arena, along with a 35,000 square meters mall, is the first to be built in Italy since 1990, and is the only one privately owned by an Italian football club.

On 11 May 2011, in line with his working contract and in agreement with the owners of the club, Blanc released his executive powers to the Board of Juventus, and resigned as CEO.
