The Pozzo family is a generational woodworking family that parlayed their success into football club ownership in the mid-1980s. And once they got involved with football their passion was unbridled.

Gino has said that his passion began in 1986 when his father purchased the Udinese Calcio Football Club. Gino quickly became the prodigy that, through his unique scout-driven model, has identified struggling clubs that his approach could help stabilize and then turnaround and achieve success.

The Watford Football Club

In 2012 the Pozzo family purchase the Watford F.C., which at the time was heavily in debt and an unsuccessful Fourth Division club on the field. Having already purchased Udinese and in 2009 the Granada F.C., Gino was able to employ his unique tactics to transform the fortunes for the club. Refer to This Article for related information.

With the Pozzo family owning three clubs across Italy, Spain and England they now had leverage across the teams to deploy player recruitment and trading players between their clubs. And in so doing Gino Pozzo was able to elevate the Watford Football Club from Fourth Division to the elite Premier League by 2016.

The Pozzo Method

Gino Pozzo business model of recruiting and trading players liberally was a repeatedly successful model for Gino Pozzo and was noticed by peers and officials, so much so that some Football League regulations were modified to curtail the practice of trading between clubs with the same ownership.

And now Gino Pozzo has focused his effort on the Watford F.C. and understands that football is a long-term project and that as part of that constant reevaluation is necessary. So much can change in even just one to two years, including a high rate of coaching turnover, so the Pozzo’s remain nimble with a pragmatic approach that breeds stability and sustained success.
