Becoming a Darling of the Press

As an active General Manager at Juventus, Giuseppe Marotta was the man who oversaw most or all of the club's marketing and sales functions as well as the day-to-day operations. He was responsible for effective planning, delegating, coordinating, staffing, organizing, and decision-making to attain desirable profit-making results for Juventus.

Giuseppe was always among the first group of people to arrive at the Juventus head office in Corso Galileo Ferraris as he was a very busy man. His early bird routine was the same on the Wednesday after Juventus' Champions League game, especially since he planned to read through and sign Juventus' financial statements for the previous months.

"Anything interesting in the news today?" He asked his secretary when he walked into his spacious office that morning.

"Well," the secretary said, "There are a lot of catchy headlines about Zachary Bemba's hattrick in today's newspapers. Does that count as something interesting?"
