Under the agreement, in the first season, 2007/2008, Juventus shirts will carry Fiat's heavy machinery brand New Holland, it said.
Fiat is 30 pct-controlled by IFIL SpA, while Juventus is an IFIL unit.
Olinvest agreed, on a friendly basis, that Juventus could continue to wear shirts with the Tamoil brand until the end of the 2006/2007 season.
Tamoil's original five-year, 110 mln eur sponsorship deal was signed in March 2005 when Juventus was in Serie A.
