Overview
- The Board of Directors approved Giovanni Carnevali as chief executive officer and general manager and confirmed Damien Comolli left by mutual consent on June 12, 2026.
- Italian coverage reports the decision followed breaking trust between Comolli and coach Luciano Spalletti driven by several transfer failures, with the botched late approach for Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson singled out.
- Market and press reporting say Juventus agreed to pay Comolli a gross €850,000 severance and waived any right to reclaim his sign-on bonus.
- Carnevali is expected to take immediate control of summer squad business, with media saying he may reopen contract talks for striker Dušan Vlahović and that technical director François Modesto and sporting director Marco Ottolini are under review.
- Carnevali arrives from Sassuolo with a reputation for sustainable budgets and youth development, a profile the club is using to signal stability after governance turnover and the revenue hit from missing the Champions League.
