Juventus Lines Up Marco Ottolini as Leading Candidate for Sporting Director

His resume matches Comolli’s push for a director versed in Juventus’ development pathways with strength in international trading.

Overview

  • Italian outlets report that Genoa’s Marco Ottolini sits atop Damien Comolli’s list for the sporting director role, with contacts held in recent weeks.
  • Corriere dello Sport describes two tracks under consideration, a foreign option still undefined and the Italian route led by Ottolini, with a decision window of roughly 15–20 days.
  • No appointment has been announced, and any move would require resolving Ottolini’s contract with Genoa alongside internal approvals at Juventus.
  • Ottolini previously spent 2018–2022 at Juventus working across scouting, the loan players group, the Club15 network and the early Next Gen project.
  • At Genoa he has been linked to value-building transfers, including reported deals such as Radu Dragusin to Tottenham with a Juventus sell-on and Koni De Winter’s loan‑to‑buy followed by a sale to Milan.
