Yesterday, the Board of Directors of Juventus — Italy’s most decorated team and one of the most recognizable worldwide — appointed Damien Comolli as the club’s new Chief Executive Officer. With this decision, the team relinquishes her prior role of General Manager, putting all essential managerial functions in Comolli's hands. The official statement was unequivocal: "The Board of Directors has appointed Damien Comolli as Chief Executive Officer, concurrently terminating his prior position as General Manager, thereby granting him administrative authority essentially in line with the existing organizational structure". Those who follow international soccer will have heard Comolli's name. He is a French manager who has worked for clubs such as Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, and, most recently, Toulouse, where he led the team to European qualification. He joined Juventus just a few months ago, in the summer, as General Manager. His goal was to assist the club in reorganizing following a transition period and the departure of Cristiano Giuntoli, the director who managed the sporting side until last season. With his new appointment, Comolli will join Giorgio Chiellini, the former Juventus captain and Azzurri icon who has returned to the club as a director, and Francesco Modesto, the new General Manager, to complete the sports structure. What's the next step? Choosing a new Sporting Director to handle the transfer market and team development. Leading the field is Marco Ottolini, formerly the Sporting Director of Genoa and a former Juventus manager, where he supervised recruiting operations and the management of loaned players. For him, it would be a homecoming. For him, it would be a homecoming; for Comolli, the beginning of a new challenge at one of the world’s most scrutinized — and demanding — clubs.
