Ribaltone of the AD of Exor, who communicated to the black and white market man the dismissal before the homage to the victims of Heysel
John Elkann changes everything and immediately reset the management. Cristiano Giuntoli’s era at Juventus ends up in less than two years. By now the pause rhymes with reversal to Continassa. At the end of March, the stop for the national teams had proved fatal for coach Thiago Motta, replaced by Igor Tudor. The pre-club mini-vacation for club, on the other hand, leads to a new corporate revolution. In the next few hours, probably already during the day, divorce will be made official with the technical director Cristiano Giuntoli, already in contact with the club’s leaders to establish the economic outlines of his exit and that of his two main collaborators: Giuseppe Pompilio and Stefano Stefanelli. The Champions League qualification conquered on the last day to save a shaky sports project for several months and for different reasons was not enough: from the over 200 million spent on the market to the sale of some young people (Huijsen above all) to the early – and burning – eliminations from Europe that counts against the PSV and the Italian Cup against the reserves of Empoli. So after Thiago Motta, pay Giuntoli, forced to leave Juventus three years before the expiry of the contract. A strong and decisive choice that of the property. John Elkann, having already had to intervene in March with a reapitious of 15 million initially not expected to face Motta’s Jeth, wanted to immediately shoot the page and yesterday morning he personally communicated the decision to Giuntoli. The new course, waiting for the puzzle to complete completely, will be entrusted to Giorgio Chiellini and Damien Comolli. The former Juventus defender will have an increasingly central role and will work closely with the French manager, who has just left the presidency of Tolosa to become the general manager of the lady (soon expected the black and white formalization). Comolli and Chiellini will be the two main football figures in command and will interface with the Ad Maurizio Scanavino, man of accounts and numbers, as well as trusted managers of Elkann.
John’s turning point
–
The corporate reversal was the result of long and in -depth reflections by the property, discontent of the sporting results. The turning point came in the morning, during a fairly tense interview. Elkann met with Giuntoli and communicated the radical choice and immediate dismissal to the now ex DT. Thus, after evaluating to make old (Giuntoli) and new managers (Comolli) coexist, the property preferred to open a new book to the right booking the past-report. A hard blow to Giuntoli. Spiffers escaped from the headquarters and strengthened within a few minutes from the absence of the Tuscan manager (officially for a counterattack linked to the family) to the commemoration of the victims of Heysel a stone’s throw from Continassa. Yes, there were John Elkann, the president Ferrero, the Ad Scanavino and Giorgio Chiellini. But not Giuntoli nor his collaborators Pompilio and Stefanelli. Absences that have made noise and in fact have anticipated the certainty of a divorce that will be consumed officially in the next few hours.
And it doesn’t end here …
–
The revolution is only at the beginning. Now it will be up to Comolli, expected in Turin at the beginning of next week, and Chiellini complete the corporate puzzle and take the most important choice: that of the new coach after the end of the dream Antonio Conte, who chose to stay in Naples. Meanwhile, the next card – but it may not be the only one – will be the return of Matteo Tognozzi, already Caposcout of the youth at the time of Fabio Paratici and the first team with Federico Cherubini. Tognozzi, returning from the experience as a Granada manager and in the past precious for arrivals in Turin of the talents Huijsen, Soulé and Yildiz, will return to the base to work in the sports area and in that scouting.
