Juventus, Chiellini joins the FIGC Council: new institutional role for the former captain

The appointment took place during today’s Serie A League assembly, during which Chiellini was named as the replacement for Francesco Calvo, the former Juventus executive who left the federal position after moving to Aston Villa.

This recognition confirms the growth of Chiellini’s managerial career, who is currently the Director of Football Strategy at Juventus, a key figure in building the new corporate model in Turin.

An experienced profile for the governance of Italian football

With Chiellini’s entry, the FIGC adds to its organization a figure of great authority, able to bring a concrete and modern perspective derived from his long experience on the field and his recent path in sports management.

Throughout his playing career, Chiellini embodied values of leadership, discipline, and tactical vision—qualities he now applies in a managerial context. As sources close to the League explain, “the choice of Chiellini represents the desire to strengthen the dialogue between Serie A clubs and the Federation, enhancing high-level technical and managerial skills.”

Objectives and role in the new federal structure

The new FIGC advisor will be called upon to collaborate with other federal components on key issues for the future of Italian football: development of the youth sector, economic sustainability of clubs, and modernization of sports infrastructure.

Chiellini, for his part, is said to have expressed his willingness to “make his experience and vision available to contribute to the growth of Italian football in an important phase of transformation.”

His presence on the Federal Council also strengthens Juventus’ representation within national football institutions, following the recent internal reorganization initiated by President Ferrero.

From the captain’s armband to the Federation’s desk, Giorgio Chiellini continues to be a leading figure in the Italian football scene. His appointment to the FIGC Council marks another step in the evolution of a professional who, after making history on the field, is now preparing to make an impact in the decision-making processes of Italian football.
