Even though it didn’t happen immediately, Juventus will likely add an experienced executive on the sporting side in the next few months, and Luis Campos is the latest name to pop up on their radar. The Bianconeri revamped their management after Andrea Agnelli stepped down following the recent allegations. Maurizio Scanavino, who has no football experience, is their new CEO. However, his position might only be temporary.
According to Corriere dello Sport, if he stayed just for six months, the Old Lady would go after a new chief of football in the summer. Giuseppe Marotta would be the primary candidate. At that point, he’d pick his collaborators and decide the future of current sporting director Federico Cherubini.
Instead, if Scanavino stayed longer, perhaps leading a three-year cycle, Juventus would onboard a head of the technical area, and Campos would be a strong option. He’s on excellent terms with Massimiliano Allegri.
The two would have joined Real Madrid together if the coach accepted the offer instead of returning to Turin. Moreover, they were spotted at a Monte Carlo hotel last summer. The photo fueled speculations about the boss filling the opening of the French team at the time. According to Le Parisien, the executive could leave the Ligue 1 giants due to a falling out with his colleague Antero Henrique and president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.

Our Take on Juventus and Campos
It’d be a sound hiring that would strengthen Allegri’s position. However, it’s not a guarantee that the gaffer himself will indeed stay at the helm long-term. Unlike in the past, he’ll be judged on results alone. The internal power struggle under the new regime has already started.
