Apical Juventus Official at Risk of Getting the Ax | OneFootball

While Luciano Spalletti will most likely keep managing Juventus, the club could still undergo a significant change at the top, as Damien Comolli is under scrutiny just a few months after being appointed, Tuttomercatoweb reports.

The CEO could pay the price for another trophyless campaign, especially should the Bianconeri miss out on the top four. In addition, he has spent a lot on players who have struggled to adjust to Serie A.

Should Juventus owner John Elkann fire Comolli, he might not be replaced by another well-known exec, which instead happened last year. The former Toulouse president came in shortly before Cristiano Giuntoli was booted.

The Bianconeri could give Giorgio Chiellini more power and lean on the two directors they appointed not too long ago, Marco Ottolini and François Modesto, who are expert scouts. The patron could simply add somebody to oversee the finances from one of his other companies. Maurizio Scanavino did it for years before the latest shake-up.

Our Take on Juventus and Comolli

It’d be quite the sudden fall from grace, and it’d be ironic if the hierarchy he helped put together supplanted him, but it wouldn’t be shocking. They have been quick to dismiss gaffers and officials when things weren’t going as well as they hoped, underestimating that it takes time to build a credible project.

At the same time, he engineered a few baffling signings, especially the Lois Openda one, which is one of the most inexplicable deals in recent memory. The striker had been in a long slump, he was duplicative with Jonathan David, Dusan Vlahovic wasn’t a lock to leave, they had way more pressing needs and weren’t swimming in gold at the time.
