Juventus have officially announced the arrival of Cristiano Giuntoli, who has become the club’s new sporting director.
The 51-year-old spent the last eight years with Napoli and played a crucial role in their Scudetto success last season, helping bring in stars like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen.
In the closing stages of the campaign, reports quickly began to emerge that he was keen to leave Napoli for Juventus. After a frosty period in the Campania capital, Giuntoli agreed his exit from the club a year before his contract was due to expire.
As announced today, Giuntoli is officially Juventus’ new sporting director and will work closely with his new right-hand man Giovanni Manna.
The Italian director will now be tasked with guiding the Bianconeri in their post-Andrea Agnelli era, starting with offloading a number of unneeded players in order to lighten the wage bill. He is also working on bringing in the right reinforcements to take the club back to the top in Italy.
