Juventus announces leadership changes ahead of the new season
Summary

Juventus has announced a significant front office shake-up, with CEO Damien Comolli stepping down at the directive of owner John Elkann. Giovanni Carnevali, previously with Sassuolo, takes the CEO position. This decision comes amid disagreements over transfers and the need for better chemistry with the coaching staff under Luciano Spalletti. Comolli's tenure lasted just a year, marking him as the sixth general manager since Giuseppe Marotta's departure in 2018. Other departures include chief business officer Peter Silvestone and director of performance Darron Burgess, with only Marco Ottolini expected to remain in his role.
