Giuntoli offers to lead Fiorentina revival, contacts Commisso | OneFootball

Cristiano Giuntoli is ready to get back in the game. Six months after his tumultuous departure from Juventus, the Tuscan executive has identified Fiorentina as the ideal project to become a key player in Serie A again.

Fiorentina, Giuntoli applies: contact with Commisso through intermediaries. The former Napoli executive proposes himself for the revival of the Viola

The priority of the former Napoli sporting director and Juventus technical manager, despite frequent scouting missions between the French Riviera and London, remains Italian football, considered the most fertile ground for a new start.

Why Florence is the preferred destination

Giuntoli sees the Viola as the perfect context to start a new cycle: a team with growth potential, a demanding yet passionate fanbase, and a club in need of strong technical leadership after complicated months in terms of results and planning.

Fiorentina, coming off inconsistent seasons, could benefit from a profile with his experience in building and managing squads, gained between Carpi, Napoli, and Juventus. The executive knows the Italian landscape well and has already proven capable of maximizing different budgets and complex situations.

Contact with Commisso: the application is on the table

According to Il Giornale, Giuntoli has decided to put himself forward directly, fully aware of the potential environmental resistance due to his recent Juventus past. His strategy has been clear from the start: move early and discreetly.

Sources close to the executive confirm that he used a network of mutual friends and qualified intermediaries to deliver a precise message to Rocco Commisso: “I am ready to lead Fiorentina's project if the club wants to restart with a new sports structure.”

The Viola owner has not yet given a clear response, but there is interest in Florence in the idea of relying on an international-level profile capable of bringing about a managerial shift.

The environmental uncertainty and the next move

It remains to be seen how the fans would react to the arrival of an executive from Turin, but Giuntoli sees the challenge as an opportunity. For him, starting over in an ambitious place like Florence would also represent a form of personal redemption.

Now the ball is in Commisso's court: the application has been submitted, the project is on the table, and the “professional attraction” could turn into an official role in the coming months.
