Giuntoli managed to convince the club and complete his purchase overnight. He is now officially part of the Juventus family.
With the arrival of Conte as the new coach, and Manna as sporting director to replace the impalpable Meluso, Napoli is now officially ready to begin a profound re-foundation of the CB, after the disastrous post-championship season just played.
The Neapolitan fans were thus able to breathe a sigh of relief because the impression is that Aurelio De Laurentiis truly understood the lesson, and therefore the importance and the centrality of technical figures such as the coach and sports management. In fact, the real problem last season was the way in which the Napoli owner wanted to belittle the importance of both his old coach Spalletti and Giuntoli.
Indeed, the latter was sometimes mocked by De Laurentiis in the press conference, claiming that he was much less good than he was praised for and that many players who later made the fortune of Napoli, he hadn’t chosen them himself.
At that moment probably, De Laurentiis spoke in the throes of resentment, given that Giuntoli had decided to start a new professional adventure at Juventus, the Neapolitans’ all-time rival.
Giuntoli’s task at Juventus
But the confusion that reigned supreme at Castel Volturno makes us understand how important Giuntoli was for Napoli, and what kind of loss the club suffered with his decision to leave. Now the director he is instead called to the very difficult task of re-establishing Juventus.
A task of which was officially invested in responsibilities a few months ago by John Elkann, who indicated him as the man who will take full control of the entire sports area of the club.
Juventus, Giuntoli’s historic collaborator finally arrives in black and white
After Carpi and Napoli, Giuntoli is therefore called to repeat himself, and to help the team achieve great sporting results, despite a budget for the transfer market that will be quite small, given the economic problems of the Juventus club. However, starting from next season Giuntoli will now be able to count on decisive help.
His most trusted collaborator, De Laurentiis had decided to stay at Napoli until his contract expired, can finally join him in his new adventure in black and white. Juventus has in fact made the arrival of Giuseppe Pompilio official, as the club explains in the press release “he will work closely with Cristiano Giuntoli”.
