Juventus Appoints Frederic Massara to Lead Sporting Area

Carnevali has brought Massara in to accelerate player sales and free funds for a planned squad rebuild.

Overview

  • Frederic Massara was named Juventus’ head of the sporting/technical area on Tuesday and will report directly to AD and DG Giovanni Carnevali.
  • The arrival of Massara completes the first phase of Carnevali’s reorganization and comes roughly 25 days after Carnevali took up his role in Turin.
  • Francois Modesto is reported to be leaving Juventus while Marco Ottolini is confirmed as sporting director and Giorgio Chiellini will move to a role focused on institutional relations.
  • Massara’s immediate brief is to speed up outgoing transfers to unblock funds and to resolve high‑profile cases such as the Kolo Muani situation that hindered last summer’s dealings.
  • The club plans to rebuild scouting and recruitment under Massara’s leadership, with Davide Cangini reported as a frontrunner for head‑scout, and the changes are meant to stabilize finances and day‑to‑day sporting operations.
