Rui Pedro Braz wanted by double Champions League winners | OneFootball

Juventus is looking for a sporting director and holds Rui Pedro Braz in high regard, placing him at the top of their list of preferences. Damien Comolli is evaluating candidates to fill the vacancy of sporting director at the club, which has already won two Champions League titles, and among the options, the name of Benfica’s current executive remains.

The Italian newspaper "Tuttosport" reported this Friday on the interest of the Italian club. However, the Turin-based club, which had previously initiated contacts, is aware of the interest from the Saudi Public Investment Fund for a position related to international market management.

The 47-year-old Portuguese executive was recently photographed in the stands watching Al Ahli vs. Al Hilal, but besides these clubs, there are more parties interested in hiring him, with Rui Pedro Braz still waiting to choose the best project to continue his career.

The same source also reports that one of the names considered was Matteo Tognozzi, but he was completely ruled out after signing with Rio Ave. The former sports commentator took up his role at Benfica in June 2021 and is now set to leave four years later.

The most recent change in the technical command at Clube da Luz, with Bruno Lage being dismissed and José Mourinho (who made a demand of the players) arriving to take the reins of the team, did not involve any intervention from Rui Pedro Braz, but rather from Mário Branco.
