Gino Pozzo: Spearheading the Resurgence of Watford Football Club
Born into a family of passionate football enthusiasts, Gino Pozzo is a name that is well-known across the footballing world. For years, the Pozzo Family has been known to take lower-division football clubs and lead them straight to the top thanks to their passion and hands-on approach, which Gino has obviously inherited. Having spent most of his childhood in Udine, Italy, a town well known for its footballing passion, Gino has always been surrounded by great footballing management minds as he is related to former presidents of the Udinese Calcio Football club on his mother’s side.
After graduating with a Master’s from Harvard, Gino relocated to Spain, where he settled in Barcelona for over 20 years together with his family before moving to England to oversee the day-to-day management of his newly acquired football club, Watford F.C. Having sold all their business in the woodworking sector to fully focus on sports ownership the Pozzo family under Gino Pozzo have developed a reputation of being one of the most forward-thinking owners in the business.
Under Gino’s stewardship, the Pozzo family-owned football clubs have based their approach on a scouting-driven model that promises to ensure the clubs’ growth and continued success on the field. In 2009, after acquiring Granada Football Club., the hands-on approach of Gino Pozzo helped get rid of the then 12 million euros debt and earn a promotion to the Primera Liga for the first time in 35 years. The continued success helped the Pozzo family complete a takeover of the Watford football club in 2012. With the club still struggling to get out of the fourth division, Gino made it his mission to return it to its former glory days of Sir Elton John.
With the understanding that running a football club is more than just passion, Gino and the Pozzo family have put in place measures and infrastructure to ensure the continued uprise of the famous Watford F.C. To ensure top-quality work all around the club, Gino’s influence is not only limited to fiscal and administrative duties and decisions but also at every level of the club’s operations.
