Carnevali alla Juventus: è arrivato il "delfino" di Marotta?

Here we are... #carnevali #juventus #transfermarket Who is Giovanni Carnevali, the new CEO and general manager of Juventus? Giovanni Carnevali is one of the most highly regarded Italian managers, having been linked for years with top clubs. A few weeks ago, he seemed destined for AC Milan after Gerry Cardinale's reshuffle, but the Rossoneri have chosen another path. He will replace Damien Comolli. WHO IS CARNEVALI? Giovanni Carnevali has been leading the Sassuolo project since 2014, where he is general manager and CEO. He took his first steps in football with Milanese. He worked at Monza under Marotta, then at Pavia, and was a Serie B manager with Como and Ravenna. He founded Master Group Sport, which he collaborated with the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) on projects for the World Cup and European Championships. Carnevali's Master Group is also associated with volleyball, and since 2018, he has been a commercial advisor to the Italian Basketball Federation. In June 2014, owner Giorgio Squinzi entrusted Giovanni Carnevali with the leadership of the project on both a sporting and corporate level. Here are his best transfer deals: from Locatelli to Frattesi THE ANNOUNCEMENT TO JUVENTUS In a statement from the Turin club, Juventus presents its new CEO "Throughout his career, he has contributed significantly to the growth and success of Sassuolo Calcio, which has become a recognized example of sustainability, innovation, talent development, and the ability to create value, both on and off the pitch." FIRST WORDS "I am proud and honored to join this club, so rich in history and identity. I thank the club, the majority shareholder, and John Elkann for their trust in me. I face this new challenge with a great sense of responsibility and the belief that, through daily commitment, it is possible to build a path of lasting growth and a successful future. We will work to make Juventus an increasingly important player both nationally and internationally, respecting the club's history and the ambitions of the Bianconeri fans." THE FRIENDSHIP WITH MAROTTA "He is a friend as well as my mentor. We met when he was at Monza and I was at Milanese Calcio, an amateur club. I suggested a guy to him, he trusted me, and so I gave him the contract." Carnevali was best man at Marotta's wedding. POSSIBLE FIRST TRANSFERS With the arrival of Giovanni Carnevali as Juventus' new CEO, there will be a new impetus in the transfer market. Initially, negotiations should follow the established path because Spalletti's needs remain the same: a goalkeeper, a defender, and a striker. Emiliano Martinez remains the preferred choice in goal, Lucumì is popular in defense, but Muharemovic could return given Carnevali's relationship with Sassuolo. In attack, everything is focused on Sorloth, without forgetting Kolo Muani and a possible sensational reopening of the Vlahovic front. THE ORGANIZATION CHART: WHO'S STAYING AND WHO'S COMING These changes will not affect Giorgio Chiellini or Marco Ottolini. Carnevali will also be able to count on them to best adapt to his new environment. Current technical director Modesto, however, is expected to leave after a few months, having been sought by the former CEO. Tognozzi, currently working with Maniakis, the owner of Nottingham Forest and Olympiacos, could return to Juventus in his place. SPALLETTI, A FIXED POINT Luciano Spalletti's position is not in question. Indeed, the current Juventus manager emerges, if anything, even stronger after Comolli's departure, given that relations with the former Juventus CEO were at an all-time low. BEHIND THE STORY Corriere della Sera recounts some behind-the-scenes discussions between the former CEO and Luciano Spalletti. The coach blames Comolli for a disastrous transfer market in 2025, with Kolo Muani and the unsuccessful signings of Openda and David. Discontent escalated in January when Spalletti unsuccessfully requested a striker and also broke off negotiations for Vlahovic's contract renewal. The straw that broke the camel's back was the dispute over the failure to finalize the Alisson deal. Furthermore, Spalletti didn't mind the intrusiveness of Comolli's Turkish wife, Mrs. Selinay Gurgenc, who was present not only on the sidelines before every match but also in areas of the stadium reserved for players. Tuttosport reports a phone call between Spalletti and Elkann yesterday, where the latter reassured him, "I'm counting on you, the new season starts today."
