Gino Pozzo, a sports entrepreneur, is the brains behind Watford Football Club’s remarkable success. The son of famous soccer enthusiasts Giuliana and Gianpaolo Pozzo has greatly shaped the sector. The Udinese Calcio football club from Italy remains the cornerstone of Pozzo’s successful investment in the illustrious soccer sector.
Initially, Gianpaolo (his father) bought the club in 1986, marking the family’s diversification from the tool-making investment. As a result, Pozzo learned the skills of running a football club after joining the family in 1993. His father had cleared the club’s financial crisis and helped it rise to the Champions League. However, Pozzo steered the club to greater heights until the family bought Granada FC from Spain in 2009. He facilitated the repayment of the club’s massive debt and its rise to the Primera Liga within two years.
In 2012, Gino Pozzo oversaw the purchase of the Watford Football Club (the Hornets). The club had the same financial and performance problems initially faced by Udinese and Granada. Pozzo cleared the debt and embarked on helping the team compete in the English Premier League. He invested in hiring renowned coaches and recruiting talented players.
Due to the stiff competition, Gino Pozzo sold Granada to concentrate on the English team. His unique scouting strategy helps him get the best players from any league. Andrea Carnevale facilitates the signing by shortlisting the preferred candidates while the scouts forward the best to Gino Pozzo. Besides, Pozzo ensures the coaches lead the team to the end of the season to avoid tampering with the performance.
He has worked with over eight coaches in ensuring the Watford Football Club achieves its goals. For example, the club’s performance in 2018 during Javi Gracia’s tenure remains one of the best. It competed in the Champions League, and fans admitted it had the best squad since the 1980s under the ownership of Elton John. Pozzo has sacrificed his time and resources towards the team’s success by relocating to the Vicarage Road office to monitor its progress closely. See this page for additional information.
