Alessandro Del Piero is open to helping Juventus as the Serie A giants begin their search for a chairman to replace Andrea Agnelli and an entire new board.
Juve announced after an emergency meeting on Monday that Agnelli, vice-president Pavel Nedved and managing director Maurizio Arrivabene have all quit their roles.
It comes amid an investigation into alleged tax fraud, which Juventus have denied, and on the back of the club registering a record loss of €254.3million for 2021-22.
Exor, who have a controlling stake in Juve, indicated on Tuesday that Gianluca Ferrero is in line to replace Agnelli as president.
Any decision over who succeeds Agnelli, Nedved and Arrivabene is expected to be made at a shareholders meeting on January 18.
In what is another difficult period for the Turin side off the pitch, club legend Del Piero has indicated he is ready to aid Juve in any way possible – just as he did as a player.
“You re asking the question to someone like me that spent almost 20 years there, Del Piero, who spent nine years with the Bianconeri, told beIN SPORTS.
I got relegated with the team and I decided to stay so the relationships with me and the team, with the owners, the fans, are quite deep, very deep.
We ve been through everything to reach the top of the world and the bottom point in the club s entire history. This great journey brought me here with you.
It s something where every news regarding Juve is emotional for me and I m going to stand by and see what s going to happen.
I was with them this summer for the tour they did in Los Angeles where I lived, and also in Lisbon. I m friends with Pavel and everybody. It s sad for me seeing this situation.
Del Piero added: I don t know the plan; nobody has called me. I don t know what s going to happen, but I know very well all that s happened. I still have a house in the city

Juve were stripped of titles and relegated to Serie B in the 2006-07 campaign over the Calciopoli scandal, but Del Piero does not expect any such punishments this time around.
This is not regarding the team; it s not going to affect the team in terms of relegation or other things, he said.
It s going to affect the people because it s allegations ongoing about the people, not only the president but the other board members. This will affect them if there s proof.
