Giovanni Manna and Juventus are officially parting ways. After being involved in last summer’s transfer market and collaborating with Cristiano Giuntoli, the executive has mutually terminated his contract. He has been inactive for over a month as he is set to join Napoli, where he will sign a five-year deal starting from July 1st. Manna arrived at Juventus in 2019, initially overseeing the Under-19 team and later moving up to the Next Gen team before assisting with the first team’s transfer dealings.
Cherubini, the Juventus sporting director, managed to beat Inter’s Marotta to secure Manna’s services back in 2019. Manna’s work at Lugano caught the eye of the Bianconeri, leading to his appointment at Juventus. Following Cherubini’s ban last January, Manna stepped in to help with the first team’s transfers until recently. With his impending move to Napoli, Manna reached an agreement with Juventus to end his contract prematurely.
Manna’s journey at Juventus comes to an end as he looks forward to his new adventure with Napoli. Despite already mentally transitioning to his new role, the official switch to Napoli will occur on July 1st. The promising executive played a crucial role in Juventus’ transfer dealings, showcasing his talent and expertise during his time with the club.
