Juventus eye Sporting’s key man, want to lure Varandas’ right-hand man | OneFootball

Juventus is looking for a new sports coach and Bernardo Palmeiro is one of the names on the agenda. The general director for football at Sporting is on the list of the vecchia signora, which also has a strong interest in Morten Hjulmand.

The information was reported by Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moreto - Italian journalists specialized in transfer market matters - ensuring that, despite Palmeiro being noted, the main candidate is Marco Ottolini, sports director of Cagliari.

The experts assure that Bernardo Palmeiro was a name that Juventus “explored in recent weeks,” as he has done “significant work” at Sporting, which is viewed favorably by the management of the giant Turin club.

However, according to information reported by the newspaper Record, Sporting has no knowledge of any approach to Bernardo Palmeiro, either by Juventus or any other club that might be interested in the director.

Bernardo Palmeiro had already been at Sporting - between 2020 and 2023 - as a legal advisor for football. The lawyer, a specialist in sports law, eventually returned to Alvalade about a year ago to replace Hugo Viana, although he only started his duties in February.
