here are all the director’s men

With the arrival of Michele Sbravati at Juventusalso confirmed by Genoa CEO Andres Blazquez, the Juventus sports area headed by Cristiano Giuntoli is taking shape more and more. Having arrived in Turin last June, the former Napoli sporting director was necessarily unable to act immediately on the market, blocked both by the economic situation of the club and by De Laurentiis’ diktat which, unlike what Juventus did with Manna, allowed Giuntoli to move only at the last moment, and so the Football Director spent a season preparing the ground for the corporate revolutionalso supported by the investiture of John Elkann, which he is carrying forward this year.

THE NEW FACES – As we had already reported a few weeks ago, on the occasion of the official arrival in Turin of Giuntoli’s historic collaborator Joseph Pompiliowho will cover, as already done in Naples, the role of operational arm of the director dealing with the coordination of secretarial work and the drafting of contracts, Sbravati will be the new head of the youth sectorup to the Under 17s. A pursuit, the one against the now former Genoa, which starts from afar, given that, as revealed by Gianluca Di Marzio, Fabio Paratici had already courted him closely to bring him to the black and whitewhere among other things he will meet up with Andra Cambiaso and Mattia Perin, two guys with whom he worked during his long militancy in the rossoblu. Alongside them will be the former Pisa sporting director Stefano Stefanellipreviously responsible for Napoli’s Under 19 team, who will take the place of Giovanni Manna, a sort of deputy sporting director who will also be head of the scouting area.

THE OLD GUARD – Confirmed by Giuntoli after a year of collaboration in Turin, Massimiliano Scaglia, who will be promoted to the Primavera, and Claudio Chiellini, who will continue to take care of Juventus Next Gena role inherited from Giovanni Manna last season.
