Yesterday we reported on the rumors of persecution by Juve of the former Roma and Torino sporting director, Gianluca Petrachi.
But according to the latest reports in Italy, the arrival of a new official would not mean the departure of the current Federico Cherubini sports car.
In fact, Tuttosport (via ilBianconero) assures that Juventus could follow the model of Milan and Napoli by promoting Cherubini to the position of CEO, since the company is satisfied with his work in the market.
Indeed, the 51-year-old would have a role similar to that held by Paolo Maldini at Milanello. He would act as head of the technical department, while collaborating with a new sporting director who is able to seize market opportunities abroad, recalling Milan’s Ricky Massara and Napoli’s Cristiano Giuntoli.
Speaking of the latter, he’s one of three names the source mentions as possible candidates for the role. The other two are Igli Tare and Petrachi from Lazio, who is currently single.
Juve FC says
To his credit, Cherubini has proven to be a canny operator in the market despite the club’s limited resources.
Perhaps he was unable to sign the kind of names that used to land in Turin during Fabio Paratici’s reign, but that was just a different era.
Also, the addition of a capable sporting director with a decent eye for talent would be a welcome addition to the management.
