Damien Comolli Bids Farewell to Juventus
June 12, 2026 · Javier Paredes
Damien Comolli's tenure at Juventus ends following a series of setbacks, including failed transfers and underwhelming performances. Giovanni Carnevali is slated to take over in an attempt to guide the club towards stability.
Damien Comolli's time as CEO of Juventus has come to an expected end following a challenging stint marked by underperformance and organizational upheaval. The French executive's departure concludes a period fraught with strategic missteps, contentious decisions, and disappointing results on the pitch.
Comolli's tenure was marred by questionable transfer choices, including the high-profile acquisitions of players like Jonathan David and Lois Openda, which failed to yield the desired impact. These decisions, alongside a sixth-place league finish, contributed to severe financial implications for the club.
The internal dynamics within Juventus also proved problematic, with strained relationships reported between Comolli and key figures such as Giorgio Chiellini and coach Luciano Spalletti. These tensions, coupled with an unsuccessful attempt to revolutionize the club's operations through analytics, precipitated his exit.
Looking ahead, Juventus is poised for yet another rebuilding phase under the guidance of Giovanni Carnevali, formerly of Sassuolo. With the backing of John Elkann, the club aims to establish a foundation of continuity, allowing Carnevali and Spalletti to develop a sustainable and successful strategy. The focus will be on long-term growth, with an emphasis on stability and gradual progress over immediate success.
