Juventus managed to convince Napoli to get Cristiano Giuntoli out of his contract after a lengthy back-and-forth last summer. He joined solo without any of his usual collaborators. The situation will most likely change in 2024, Calciomercato reports.
His previous right-hand man Giuseppe Pompilio is tied to the Azzurri only until June. He’s in advance talks to join the Bianconeri too. He should be the deputy sporting director. An agreement is very likely considering the bond between the two execs.
The overhaul of the Juventus front office under Giuntoli might not stop there. The new chief is mulling inserting one or two more men. He has ties with current Pisa official Stefano Stefanelli. The negotiation is progressing nicely. The final piece of the puzzle could be Genoa’s Matteo Scala or Giancarlo Romairone, who’s the CEO of Triestina in Serie C.
The additions to the Giuntoli-led brass might lead to the exit of Giovanni Manna, who’s well regarded by the Juventus ownership for his work with the Next Gen and contribution while they didn’t have a top director. Sassuolo and Lazio have set their sights on him. His contract expires in 2025.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, Salernitana are eyeing the young director, as the president Danilo Iervolino has big reservations about Morgan De Sanctis. He’s from the area. The Bianconeri recently lost head scout Matteo Tognozzi, who took on a bigger role at Granada.
