Juventus Could Be Headed for a Substantial Shake-Up | OneFootball

Juventus are waiting for Antonio Conte to part ways with Napoli in an amicable fashion before lodging their offer. They are confident that the massive celebrations and the pressure from the players and the officials haven’t altered the coach’s stance and that he will indeed leave, Sky informs.

Igor Tudor has backtracked from his post-game remarks and will stay at the helm for the Club World Cup. He’d likely have the permanent job if the Azzurri gaffer somehow changed his mind.

Juventus could go through more changes besides the coach. Owner John Elkann is examining what went wrong and how to move forward. At this stage, only Giorgio Chiellini is certain to be confirmed.

Despite previous remarks, Cristiano Giuntoli’s position is being evaluated. The governor will make the call about the management before bringing in Conte, or eventually confirming Tudor. He has tested the waters for director Frederic Massara, who worked for Roma, Milan, and Rennes, and Toulouse president Damien Comolli. He could become the new CEO.

Our Take on Juventus

They’d be fortunate if Conte fell into their lap simply because of his attachment to the team and because he likes a challenge. Then, all the components will have to get on the same page. The direction they took last summer, getting younger and less expensive salary-wise, doesn’t really jibe with the boss’ MO. Giuntoli has made his mistakes, but it’d be bonkers to axe him after just two years. Still, they could use seasoned execs so it’s not a one-man show, but that goes for most sides. All bets are off when the owner takes the reins. They could pivot to a different strategy to try to succeed right away.
