Giovanni Manna’s adventure at Juventus is over. The Juventus club, in fact, has officially communicated the end of the relationship with the man who was first in charge of the U-19 team and then sporting director of Juve Next Gen. A separation that has been expected for some time, given the future already outlined for Manna for the next few seasons. “The paths of Giovanni Manna and Juventus diverge – we read in the press release published by the company -. The consensual termination of his contract with the Club is official. The Head of First Team say goodbye after five seasons together. Five years which saw him first take care of the Juventus Youth Sector as Manager of the Under 19s and then of the then Under 23s – now Next Gen – as Sports Director, with the primary objective of helping the many young people grow and mature present in pink. We thank Giovanni for the work carried out with great professionalism in these years together and wish him good luck for the future.”
Manna, Napoli is waiting for him
In a reverse path to that followed by Giuntoli last summer, Giovanni Manna will move from Juventus to Napoli. The verbal agreement with his new club has been there for weeks now and will take Meluso’s place, as also implicitly confirmed by De Laurentiis himself a few days ago during the presentation of the next retreat in Castel di Sangro. “The news that you have been circulating for some time is that there will be a new sporting director who should reveal himself as soon as possible to act on the outgoing and incoming market” the president of the Azzurri had said. And now that the separation with Juventus is official, Manna can begin his new experience as sporting director of Napoli in all respects.
