Before he bought Watford FC, Gino Pozzo had already made a name for himself in European football. One of his unique abilities was to buy teams that had been considered underdogs and turn them into title contenders. Pozzo comes from a family of entrepreneurs and football fanatics. His family has been in the football business for many years. His father, Gianpaolo Pozzo, was a toolmaker, and in 1986, he bought his hometown football club, Udinese. Under Gianpaolo Pozzo’s leadership, Udinese was so successful that they even qualified for the Champions League.

Gino Pozzo studied for his master’s degree in the US before moving to Spain. In 2013, his passion for Watford FC brought him to the UK. Pozzo is the brains behind the family’s unique scouting-driven model of club ownership. He influenced the family to acquire Granada FC, although the club was struggling financially at the time. Within a short time, he engineered a revival in the team, and it was promoted to the Primera Liga after more than three decades of absence.

When the family bought Watford FC in 2012, the club was in dire straits. They were underperforming and struggling financially. Although he was aware of the difficult task ahead, Pozzo was confident that he could make the Hornets a great club again. After they moved to the Premier League, Pozzo sold his Granada FC shares. With Watford in the EPL, Pozzo knew the club needed more attention. One of the advantages Pozzo enjoys is freely exchanging players among the family-owned clubs.

To succeed as a football club owner, Gino Pozzo has also relied on his business acumen. He now sees football as more than just a passion but also a profitable investment. He has been working hard to ensure that every coach who comes to Watford has all the resources they need to work. Together with his leadership, Pozzo has recruited very talented young players who have had illustrious careers in football.
