Cristiano Giuntoli appointed Atalanta sporting director | OneFootball

Atalanta have appointed Cristiano Giuntoli as sporting director, with the move confirmed on Saturday.

According to L'ÉEquipe, his name had recently been linked with Olympique de Marseille. He replaces Tony D'Amico, whose contract expired on Wednesday after five seasons.

Giuntoli was sporting director at Napoli for seven seasons, then served as technical director at Juventus from 2023 to 2025.

He is tasked with ushering in a new era following Gian Piero Gasperini's departure to AS Roma last summer.

Atalanta are expected to announce Maurizio Sarri as head coach once final contractual details with Raffaele Palladino are settled.
