Juventus, Damien Comolli new CEO: replaces Scanavino and prepares the new corporate strategy

The decision, reported in the club’s official statement, marks the end of Maurizio Scanavino’s tenure, which concluded on November 7. At the same time, the position of General Director has been abolished, concentrating management powers in the new role entrusted to Comolli.

“The Board of Directors has appointed Damien Comolli as Chief Executive Officer, with the simultaneous termination of the previous position of General Director, granting him administrative powers in continuity with the previous structure,” reads the Juventus statement.

Who is Damien Comolli: the profile of the new Bianconeri CEO

Comolli, a French executive with extensive international experience, arrived in Turin last summer after five years at the helm of Toulouse FC, a club he helped revive, bringing it to the top of Ligue 1.

At Juventus, he initially took on the role of General Director, a position that involved strategic management of the transfer market and sports organization post-Giuntoli. His promotion to Chief Executive Officer strengthens his position in the new corporate direction desired by President Ferrero, who aims for a leaner, results-oriented governance.

The new challenges for Juventus: rebuilding and sports management

Comolli’s first objective will be the appointment of the new Sporting Director, a key piece to complete the technical-management structure. The French executive will work closely with Giorgio Chiellini and Pasquale Modesto, who was recently chosen as the new General Director.

According to sources close to the club, the main candidate remains Marco Ottolini, former Sporting Director of Genoa, who is already familiar with the Bianconeri environment. In the past, Ottolini held various roles within Juventus’ scouting department, eventually becoming head of the loan area. His return to Turin would represent a choice of continuity and internal expertise.

A Juventus in evolution

With Comolli’s appointment, Juventus is opening a new phase of managerial streamlining and strategic renewal. The stated goal is to strengthen the club’s competitiveness both in sports and economically, focusing on a more modern and international management structure.

The coming weeks will be decisive in outlining the technical direction and defining the strategy ahead of future transfer windows, at a crucial moment for the relaunch of the Juventus project.
