Revolution at Juve: Comolli and Chiellini are introducing new era!

Turin, Italien - On June 2, 2025, Juventus initiated a comprehensive restructuring in sporting leadership. The focus of these changes is the appointment of Damien Comolli as the new managing director of the association. The 52-year-old brings extensive experience from his previous stations at Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool. His time as President of Toulouse is also part of his professional balance. In collaboration with Giorgio Chiellini, who will act as a director of football strategy in the future, Comolli should design a new era at Juventus.

The restructuring is followed by the reports about the upcoming farewell to Cristiano Giuntoli, the previous sports director of the association. Juventus seems determined to bring a fresh wind into the sporting direction, so that a new transfer expert is also sought. According to Tuttosport, there are already four candidates for the successor: Ricky Massara, former sports director of Roma and Milan; Diego Lopez, a 35-year-old Spaniard and ex-sports director of RC Lens; Matteo Tognozzi, the former chief scout of Juventus, who is currently working at Granada; and Hasan Salihamidzic, the former Juventus professional and most recently sports and managing director at FC Bayern.

The decision about the new sports director could also influence the future of coach Igor Tudor. Tudor took over the team at the end of March and led Juventus with five wins, three draws and a defeat to fourth place in the table. His contract runs until summer 2026, but the restructuring could also lead to changes here.

It becomes particularly interesting whether Comolli and Chiellini will play a key role in the appointment of a new head coach. Rumors say that Antonio Conte may consider a return to Turin. This speculation is strengthened by the fact that Comolli was recently associated with a move to Milan, but did not receive this post.

strategic orientation of juventus

juventus pursues the goal of combining tradition with a modern and strategic approach. After Francesco Calvo has resigned, Chiellini is considered for a more active role within the club, which could further drive the development of the association. This new management team is expected to play a prominent role in the Allianz Stadium and take measures to regain dominance in European football. The restructuring, in which Salihamidzic could also be involved, is supposed to reorganize the association both sporty and institutionally.

Overall, Juventus is standing for decisive weeks ago, in which the course is set for the coming season and beyond.
