TURIN, Italy (Reuters) - Juventus chairman and founder of the proposed European Super League Andrea Agnelli said on Friday that he challenged anyone to say that the current system of professional soccer was satisfactory, as he again called for reform.

Agnelli's Juve, as well as Barcelona and Real Madrid, were the last of the 12 clubs who signed up to the Super League in April not to have distanced themselves from the breakaway project.

"When it was decided that the fourth place in Italy or another country has more rights than a team from another championship, the logic is commercial and not sporting. Agnelli said European football was concentrated into a monopoly of executive, economic and juridical power, reserving UEFA the"almost arbitrary responsibility of assigning licences", while labelling the system"inefficient".Last month, UEFA nullified disciplinary action against breakaway Super League clubs Real, Barca and Juventus after a Madrid court ruled that European soccer's governing body should not sanction the rebel teams.
