Juventus Could Appoint New Club President in November

Juventus may announce a new club president at their November shareholders meeting. Current president Gianluca Ferraro and CEO Maurizio Scanavino could move to Exor roles. Former players Alessandro Del Piero and Michel Platini are potential candidates. Recent front office changes include Damien Comolli as General Manager and François Modesto as technical director, signaling a possible shift toward football-focused leadership.

When the Juventus front office experienced major changes this summer, the club signaled a shift in focus from players to leadership. While the roster saw minimal alterations, the management structure underwent a notable transformation under General Manager Damien Comolli, the former Toulouse president. According to Corriere dello Sport, Juventus’ November shareholders meeting could see the appointment of a new club president, as Exor CEO John Elkann continues to reshape the board.

Current president Gianluca Ferraro and CEO Maurizio Scanavino may transition to roles at Exor, opening the door for new leadership. Potential candidates for the presidency include club legends Alessandro Del Piero and Michel Platini, both previously linked with the position. Del Piero has long been considered a natural fit since Andrea Agnelli’s departure in November 2022, while Platini recently completed a four-year suspension in March 2025 related to FIFA controversies.

There is speculation the new president could be French, aligning with Comolli and technical director François Modesto, who occupy top sporting positions. The choice will indicate Juventus’ strategic direction, whether prioritizing financial stability or sporting influence. If Del Piero or Platini takes over, it would mark a return to former players shaping club decisions and make the usually finance-focused shareholders meeting a highlight in Juventus history.
