Category: <b>General</b><br><br>Former Roma official Franco Baldini has opted against becoming Juventus’ new director general.
Baldini was offered the position, made vacant by the resignation of Luciano Moggi in the aftermath of the match-fixing allegations, following extensive talks last week.
Although the transfer wizard is understood to have been attracted by the outfit’s serious and fascinating plans for the future, he’s decided to reject the position.
Baldini is reported to have phoned Carlo Sant'Albano, the club’s temporary chief executive, on Sunday to explain his decision.
Baldini was wanted given his previous work with the Giallorossi alongside boss Fabio Capello, but his numerous ‘battles’ against Juve in the past may have played a significant role in his thought process.
So what now for Juventus? Reports on Monday suggest that the Turin giants could look to Beppe Marotta or Giovanni Sartori.
Marotta has been working with success for the last few years at Sampdoria, while Sartori has made his name at Chievo.
There is also the possibility that Capello could be promoted to the director role, with the club bringing in a new Coach – such as Fiorentina’s Cesare Prandelli or Walter Novellino of Samp.
Meanwhile, the legendary Dino Zoff is understood to be in pole position to replace Roberto Bettega as the club’s new Vice-President.<br><br>Source: Football Italia
