Former Juventus captain Giorgio Chiellini is being considered for a management role alongside Thiago Motta at the club, following his recent venture as vice sporting director at Los Angeles FC. This move could provide a familiar face to both the coach and the fans, with Chiellini potentially offering a direct line to Cristiano Giuntoli. Chiellini had initially agreed to become a club ambassador after retiring as a player, but his expertise may prove more valuable in a managerial position.
The relationship between Chiellini and Motta, cultivated during their time together on the national team, adds a layer of mutual respect that could benefit Juventus. Chiellini’s discussions with Giuntoli and CEO Scanavino during Juventus’ US tour last summer hint at a potential return to the club in a different capacity. After 17 years with Juventus as a player, Chiellini could soon find himself in a prominent role within the management team, working closely with Giuntoli and other trusted personnel.
The prospect of Chiellini’s return as part of Juventus’ management signals a potential shift in the club’s structure, offering a blend of experience and familiarity. With Giuntoli set to be joined by other trusted figures like Giuseppe Pompilio and Stefano Stefanelli, the stage seems set for a new era at Juventus. As the club navigates through changes, Chiellini’s presence could prove instrumental in maintaining a strong Juve core within the leadership team.
