Maurizio Arrivabene has been suspended from football by Italian authorities for two years. As CEO of Juventus, the former Ferrari team boss is partly responsible for irregularities surrounding the club's finances and tampering with footballers' transfer fees. 

Even before leaving Ferrari, Arrivabene was on Juventus' board of directors. In mid-2021, he took up a full-time position in Turin. The 65-year-old Italian initially took up the job as head of football affairs, but he was promoted to CEO of the club just a few months later. In November 2022, Arrivabene, like his fellow directors, resigned his duties at Juventus when it was revealed that an investigation had been launched.

Arrivabene was in charge between 2014 and early 2019. Due to disappointing results, he eventually had to leave. The now departed Mattia Binotto was his successor at the time.
