Juventus Football Club is undergoing significant changes behind the scenes, restructuring its leadership team following the conclusion of the past season. A key decision regarding the club`s technical future has now been made.
Confirming recent reports, Juventus is set to welcome François Modesto as its new Technical Director. Modesto is a name familiar in Italian football circles, having most recently served as the Sporting Director for AC Monza.
This appointment signifies a decisive move by the Bianconeri, with Modesto reportedly taking precedence over other potential candidates who were evaluated, such as Javier Ribalta and Marco Ottolini. While Damien Comolli had also been linked earlier in the process, the focus shifted, leading to Modesto`s selection.
It`s notable that although Modesto`s recent experience was as a Sporting Director, his role at Juventus will specifically be that of Technical Director. The position of Sporting Director at the Turin club is understood to still be open and awaiting a separate decision.
Modesto also brings a past connection to Italian football from his playing career, having spent time as a defender with Cagliari in Serie A.
His function within the club appears clear from the outset. Starting with the team`s assembly on July 24th for pre-season preparations, Modesto is expected to be the primary point of contact and liaison between the club`s management, the coaching staff led by Igor Tudor, and the players. This role positions him as a crucial bridge in the day-to-day operations and long-term vision.
The arrival of François Modesto as Technical Director is a significant step in Juventus` ongoing effort to reshape its organizational structure. His experience and designated role as a link between the various components of the club highlight a strategic effort to improve synergy and communication within the team`s technical setup. Attention will now turn to who will fill the Sporting Director role to complete the picture of the new-look Juventus leadership.
