Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli says the European Super League project cannot proceed following the withdrawal of the six Premier League clubs.
Agnelli was one of the chief architects of the breakaway plans, which involved 12 clubs from England, Spain and Italy, but with teams withdrawing, he accepts it cannot now go ahead.
Agnelli, when asked about ESL said, "I remain convinced of the beauty of that project, of the value that it would have developed to the pyramid, of the creation of the best competition in the world, but evidently no. I don't think that project is now still up and running."
The six Premier League clubs involved all withdrew within hours of each other on Tuesday following a furious backlash to the plans, Italian side Inter Milan are also set to withdraw as they no longer intend to be involved with the project.
Agnelli was described as a "snake and a liar" by UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin on Monday after the announcement of the breakaway plans on Sunday evening.
Agnelli resigned his position as chairman of the European Clubs' Association on Sunday and refused to take calls from Ceferin.
