Juventus names Giovanni Carnevali as new chief executive

Juventus has appointed Giovanni Carnevali as its new chief executive officer, ending a recent reshuffle at the club’s top. Commentators highlighted his experience from Sassolo and described him as a “man of the field” who knows players personally and can work effectively with head coach Luciano Spalletti.

The hiring has reignited discussion about the future of Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic. While some journalists suggested the change could lead to renewed negotiations, senior transfer analyst Fabrizio Romano clarified that no contact has been made with Vlahovic since Carnevali took office, and the striker remains a free agent after a planned departure under the former management. The consensus among analysts is that, at least for now, Vlahovic’s exit appears likely.

Overall, the appointment is seen as a move to combine technical expertise with a larger budget, aiming to reshape Juventus’s sporting project while maintaining continuity with Spalletti’s tactical plans.
