Tensions are reportedly rising at Juventus, as the club’s ownership group, the Agnelli family (through their holding company Exor N.V.), have publicly voiced their frustration over the performance of Sporting Director Cristiano Giuntoli.
According to sources close to the club, the Agnelli family believe that Giuntoli’s strategic mistakes in recent transfer windows and squad planning have significantly contributed to Juventus’ current struggles, both domestically and in Europe.
The owners, who have long emphasized excellence and competitiveness at the highest levels, are said to be disappointed by the lack of tangible progress, especially given the club’s ambition to return to the summit of Italian and European football.
“The Juventus project requires sharper vision and flawless execution — two elements we feel have been missing in critical moments,” a senior figure close to Exor stated.
Errors and Setbacks
Giuntoli, who arrived at Juventus with a strong reputation after his success at Napoli, has faced criticism for questionable signings, contract mismanagement, and a lack of decisive leadership during key transfer windows. His tenure, initially filled with optimism, is now under intense scrutiny as Juventus battle to maintain their status among Italy’s elite.
New Direction Expected
In response, the Agnelli family has reportedly begun evaluating alternative profiles for the Sporting Director position, with a new appointment possible before the start of the next campaign. The idea is to inject fresh ideas, renewed ambition, and stricter financial discipline to realize Juventus with their historical standards.
While Giuntoli remains in his post for now, insiders suggest that his future is hanging by a thread, with the club preparing for a potential leadership shake-up in the coming months.
A decision could be made official once Juventus concludes their current season.
