Ricky Massara could become Comolli’s right-hand man at Juventus Juventus are reportedly looking to add Ricky Massara to their top management to support Damien Comolli in the sporting department. A major turmoil is currently taking place at Continassa, as Football Director Cristiano Giuntoli and his collaborators are expected to pay the price for a disappointing campaign. Moreover, Francesco Calvo, Managing Director of Revenue and Football Development, has also asked to leave the club. On the other hand, Damien Comolli has resigned from his post as Toulouse president, as he’s expected to be appointed Juventus general director on Monday. The Frenchman may need a right-hand man who helps him run the football department, thus rekindling the old partnership between Giuseppe Marotta and Fabio Paratici. Juventus have identified Massara as the right man for the job. ............ Therefore, it remains to be seen if the experienced director would make his return to Italian football through the Bianconeri gates. It should also be noted that Juventus have brought back their former Chief Scout, Matteo Tognozzi, following a two-year spell at Granada. ............ .

Mi sembra che faccia un discorso piuttosto confuso e contradittorio. Non ama la mediocritá ma non gli interessa vincere. L'importante é non perdere. Insomma non vuole vincere e non vuole perdere. Batteremo il record dei pareggi fatti in questa stagione appena finita?

Juventus closing in on agreement to keep one of their on-loan stars Juventus are reportedly making significant progress in their attempts to keep Francisco Conceicao for the FIFA Club World Cup. The global tournament will take place in the United States between June 14 and July, but this timing has caused a stir for the participants, as some of their players are running on contracts expiring on June 30. This is also the case for Juventus who have signed Conceicao, Randal Kolo Muani and Renato Veiga on loan until the end of the season, and they don’t have the option to buy them outright. ............ Therefore, Conceicao is now expected to be a part of the squad for the USA in the middle of the month. Daniele Rugani and Filip Kostic will also be reinstated after returning from loan spells at Ajax and Fenerbahce, respectively. On the other hand, keeping Kolo Muani and Veiga remains a more difficult task, as finding agreements with Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea won’t be easy. As the source explains, PSG might be willing to negotiate, so Juventus still have some hope on that front, but the West Londoners are apparently keen to reintegrate Veiga in Enzo Maresca’s squad, which will be a painful blow for Tudor. .

Il nostro forum ha accompagnato le nostre esistenze nei momenti esaltanti come nei momenti difficili. Ci siamo potuti sfogare e potuto sfottere gli avversari, abbiamo goduto dopo le vittorie e consolati a vicenda dopo le delusioni piú cocenti. Le nostre vite si sono evolute insieme al nostro forum. Ragazzi/e sono diventati/e uomini/donne durante questi lunghi anni. Figli sono nati, parenti e amici hanno lasciato questo mondo. E il forum ha fatto lo stesso: utenti che sono diventati nostri amici hanno smesso di frequentare perché presi dalle cose importanti della vita. Altri hanno preso il loro posto ma nessun utente/componente dello staff puó essere dimenticato perché ha lasciato la sua impronta nella storia del forum. In questa circostanza voglio ricordare l'utente Gian, passato a miglior vita giá da alcuni anni. Ma ognuno di noi ha certamente conosciuto qualche persona "speciale" in questo posto virtuale. Era il forum piú bello prima oppure adesso? Non riesco a rispondere. Il forum lo fanno gli utenti e finché ci saranno nuovi iscritti e la partecipazione resterá alta, potremo fare sempre meglio. Lunga vita al forum. Io ci saró sempre finché la salute e la mente mi sorreggeranno.

Parla Comolli: "Ricordo di più le sconfitte. Finali perse, titoli persi… mi tornano in mente più delle vittorie. Vincere non mi interessa veramente. L’unica cosa positiva del vincere è non perdere. Mi sveglio ogni giorno per non perdere. Non mi sveglio per vincere. Mi sveglio per non perdere le partite e per non essere mediocre, non essere nella media. Le sconfitte mi fanno molto più male del piacere che mi dà vincere. Ho perso alcune finali di coppa, finali europee, cose così… Ci penso molto di più che alle vittorie. "Cosa mi dà fastidio nel lavoro? Non sopporto la mediocrità. Se ci sono persone mediocri intorno a me, non possono restare. Non sopporto la mediocrità. E non capisco come qualcuno possa non essere un gran lavoratore. Semplicemente non è nel mio DNA, nel mio software… anzi, hardware. Non lo capisco proprio".

Chissá perché ma questo non mi meraviglia affatto ......

Juventus 2024-25 Season Ratings: The Center Backs Juventus have completed one of their most interesting seasons to date. After much tumult, exemplified by massive overhaul in both players and coaches, meaningless draws and unexpected defeats, us Juventus fans can breathe a sigh of relief after narrowly beating Venezia on the eve of the 2024–25 Serie A season to mark our participation in next year’s Champions League. One of the more cogent emblems of the club’s headache of a season was their defense. Marred by an injury crisis, Juventus’ backline was subject to change, tinkering, and overhaul no matter if it was through Thiago Motta or Igor Tudor. ............ Regardless, this post will try, arduously, to present an image of normality. McKennie and Locatelli, while we’re grateful for their service, will be in their natural position in midfield, while the great and mighty Gleison Bremer or the outcast Danilo — who played just a handful of games during the first half of the season for very different reasons — will indeed be included here. ............ Gleison Bremer — s/v Bremer played just six Serie A games and two in the Champions League, yet he remained a consistent emblem throughout the early parts of the club’s campaign. ............ Since joining the Bianconeri from Torino in 2022, Bremer has represented a commanding, disciplined, and consistent figure in defense — and his eight appearances this season were no different. With his injury, and the string of others that followed, any hope Juventus fans had of winning Serie A were quickly quelled. ............ Danilo — 5 Another Brazilian that failed to make an impact this season was Danilo — but for different kinds of reasons than Bremer. While we Juventus fans should certainly take umbrage with the undignified way the club offloaded the now-former captain, it’s not hard to see the logic behind the decision. ............ Danilo was flawed, and maybe after the Bonucci-Barzagli-Chiellini dynasty ended was simply the best of a bad bunch, but he deserved better. ............ Federico Gatti — 7 Gatti is a tough one to write about. Namely, because he lacks the trappings of a modern defender. Freakishly tall and just as wide, he often looks gawky, awkward and uncomfortable on the ball. His passing ability does not inspire faith, and nor does his first touch. Yet, for some reason, it just works. ............ Apart from being incredibly solid off the ball with his dog-like conviction to retrieve it at the expense of his health and safety, Gatti was also, often, a goal threat. Physically imposing and uncharacteristically clinical in the final third, Gatti delivered Juve fans with some special moments this season — of which, lamentably, the club has few. ............ Lloyd Kelly: 5.5 Kelly is one of those unfortunate cases where what he represents overshadows his genuine ability. Kelly is the poster boy for the seemingly chaotic season of Cristiano Giuntoli transfers. ............ Not only did Giuntoli and Co. classlessly throw away Danilo who could have easily provided some relief at the height of the injury crisis, but he offloaded one of the best young defending talents in Dean Huijsen for just €2 million more than Juve will have ultimately spent on Kelly. ............ Pierre Kalulu: 6.5 Kalulu, surprisingly, given the haste with which we signed the deal with Milan, was one of our better defenders this season. While perhaps best at fullback, Kalulu spent most of his year in the center of defense — a lot of it out of necessity after Bremer’s injury. ............ He was strong and confident on the ball and did well to facilitate some attacks. Kalulu also rarely turned over the ball and was solid at recovering. ............ Renato Veiga: 6.5 Never fall in love with a loan player, they say. Well, easier said than done. Just imagine a back line of Veiga, Gatti, and Bremer next season — a tall, physically imposing back to complement our more skilled and dynamic fullbacks. While he’s young and shows his inexperience in turning over the ball, the player has immense potential and will certainly represent a force to be reckoned with wherever he lands next season. ............ If Juve tried, in some way, to secure his services for next season, he’d be a great addition to the squad. Someone young, dynamic, and ready to learn — but also, more importantly at this stage, it would save Juve fans from the headache of another transfer window marked by hasty and poorly thought-out acquisitions. .

Juventus 2024-25 Season Ratings: The Goalkeepers For the first time in seven years, Juventus ushered in a new era in goal. Of course, it wasn’t the massive headline-grabbing departure of one the game’s truly legendary players, but seeing somebody other than Wojciech Szczesny in goal for Juventus took some time to get used to. ............ Di Gregorio’s move from Monza included an obligation to buy this summer for an initial fee of €13.5 million — which looks like a relative bargain compared to what some other keepers have cost other high-profile clubs in very recent memory. That means that a common thought that we’ve had for so many years will almost be certainly remain true following Di Gregorio’s first season in Turin alongside Mattia Perin and everybody’s favorite long-distance uncle, Carlo Pinsoglio: The Juventus goalkeeper is in very good shape and we hope it stays that way. ............ Michele Di Gregorio — 7 If this was done at the midseason point rather than after all 38 league fixtures had been played, this probably would have been a much lower grade. But, when it comes to the entire picture, I was left with a feeling that Di Gregorio definitely got better — and more comfortable as Juve’s starter — as things went on. ............ Sure, it is the most fresh in all of our minds, but just look at the save he made in the season finale against Venezia. It’s not only a fantastic save no matter the context because of how difficult it was, but it came just a couple of minutes before the goal that secured Juventus Champions League qualification. There, of course, are other examples, too. (A few of those saves in the first Derby d’Italia of the season ... my goodness.) Di Gregorio’s counting stats in goal aren’t as impressive as what we saw from him last season with Monza when he was named Serie A’s best goalkeeper. Is that a by-product of facing less shots as compared to a Monza side that forced Di Gregorio into a league-high 122 saves a year ago? Yeah, it certainly played its part. This season, Di Gregorio made 51 fewer saves than he did a year ago, facing 56 total shots on target fewer compared to his final season with Monza. ............ Mattia Perin — 7 Perin looked to be one of the biggest benefactors of Motta’s desire to rotate keepers more than a lot of other managers. It didn’t matter who it might have been against, Perin was definitely a bigger part of the early season league schedule than he had been the previous campaign when Juventus didn’t have any European football on the schedule. ............ Perin’s final appearance of the season ultimately came in Juventus ill-fated Coppa Italia quarterfinal against Empoli in which they were eliminated by a team that was playing their second-string lineup. With no Champions League football on top of that, it was pretty much Di Gregorio’s show the rest of the way and Perin was there in case something happened to Juve’s starter in goal. When Perin was in goal, he was very good no matter the circumstances. That’s not a surprise from him at this point considering he embraces the challenge of being the backup goalkeeper at Juventus where he knows he won’t play as much as he would at a smaller club where he’d start 30-plus games a season and do it for as long as he wanted. The unfortunate part of Perin’s season is that some of his best performances are attached to some of Juve’s most forgettable moments under Motta. ............ Carlo Pinsoglio — s/v One of the most notable things about Juventus’ season finale having so much attached to it is that we didn’t get a typical Pinsoglio appearance. No Pinso Time this time around — which, honestly, was understandable. it’s the second time in the last three seasons we didn’t get the unofficial tradition of seeing Pinsoglio — who has been Juventus’ No. 3 goalkeeper since the 2017-18 campaign — step onto the field as a second-half sub during the season finale. Considering what was happening in what proved to be a 3-2 win over Venezia, it’s not like there was a window for it. ............ .

Juventus turn their attention towards Premier League manager Juventus’s ongoing search for a new manager has now extended to the Premier League, with Fulham’s Marco Silva reportedly emerging as a candidate for the role. The Bianconeri have faced a string of setbacks in their attempt to appoint a new head coach, after both Antonio Conte and Gian Piero Gasperini turned down opportunities to take charge in Turin. These rejections have prompted the club to explore managerial options outside of Italy as they aim to secure a suitable replacement for Igor Tudor. Juventus were initially optimistic about bringing Conte back, particularly after he guided Napoli to a Serie A title. ............ However, that plan was quickly derailed when Conte chose to remain in Naples, having accepted an improved contract offer. Following that disappointment, the club turned to Gasperini, hoping the long-serving Atalanta boss would accept the challenge. Instead, he opted to join AC Roma, further frustrating Juventus’s recruitment efforts. ............ Marco Silva has now been identified as a potential solution. The Portuguese coach has impressed at Fulham, where he has helped the London club stabilise and compete effectively in the Premier League. His tactical approach and adaptability have reportedly caught the attention of Juventus officials. Silva has amassed significant experience across several top European leagues, but his last top-flight title came with Olympiacos in 2016. While he is undoubtedly a competent manager, questions remain about whether he fits the profile Juventus require at this stage. ............ .

Why Marco Silva is becoming a strong candidate for Juventus head coach gig Reports in Italy claim that Marco Silva’s candidacy to take over as head coach of Juventus is growing ever stronger with each passing hour, as the Bianconeri look to appoint a new head coach after losing out on Antonio Conte. ............ Juventus had been hoping to secure a return for Antonio Conte, who has ultimately decided to stay on with Napoli after winning the Scudetto in 2024-25. Gian Piero Gasperini, who Juve had also looked at, will leave Atalanta to join Roma. ............ The situation leaves the Old Lady looking at alternative candidates, with Silva, Roberto Mancini, Stefano Pioli and Bruno Genesio among them. Silva, however, is now being dubbed the frontrunner. Silva has been a name Juventus have been studying for some time already. According to reports from Sky Sport Italia, sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli had been in contact with the coach’s agent, Jorge Mendes, before learning of Conte’s decision to stay on with Napoli. ............ Comolli, who is expected to be officially announced as a new Juventus director next week, has recently reestablished contact with Jorge Mendes on behalf of the Bianconeri. .

Juventus in emergency meeting to resolve embarrassing managerial situation John Elkann has found himself increasingly involved in the decision-making process at Juventus, reportedly to a greater extent than he would prefer. Known for his preference to remain in the background, the Agnelli family leader typically entrusts the club’s operations to capable executives, allowing the Bianconeri to function with a degree of autonomy under strong leadership. ............ Both Antonio Conte and Gian Piero Gasperini have rejected approaches from Juventus, a development that has placed the club in an uncomfortable and unexpected position. The report states that Elkann has now called an emergency meeting with Giorgio Chiellini and Damien Comolli to address the managerial vacancy urgently. The double rejection is being viewed as a significant blow. ............ The situation has also raised broader concerns regarding the club’s strategic leadership. There is growing disappointment among supporters and commentators alike, with particular frustration directed at Cristiano Giuntoli. Despite arriving at the club with a strong reputation as a sporting director, his recent performance has been met with criticism. Observers have expressed dissatisfaction with how the managerial search has been handled, describing the process as lacking in foresight and execution. ............ .
