During the 1950–51 season Juventus Football Club competed in Serie A and the Rio Cup.

Summary[]

The team played a decent season with Hansen and Præst having been joined by another Dane, captain of the 1948 Olympic team Karl Aage Hansen who came from Serie A rivals Atalanta Bergamo. The great level of understanding of those three great Danes, together with Giampiero Boniperti, delivered a superb campaign that produced a milestone of 103 goals scored.^[1]^[2]

However, coach Jesse Carver was fired by the club in August 1951 as the 3rd place in the league standings behind Milan and Inter was deemed not good enough.^[3]
