Gino is the prodigal son and the mastermind of the Pozzo family. His first exposure to club ownership is coming on board at Udinese Calcio in 1993. His father had purchased the club in 1986, and Gino turned it around soon after onboarding and helped it climb from Serie B to Serie A, where it remained for over two decades.
