Surely the people in charge at Juventus would know all this though? I know they've made a lot of dumb mistakes in the past but I imagine there has to be extensive research done before hiring someone for such an important position?
It's not like getting a job at McDondalds
They must have their reasons for hiring him
Yeah, they do know Comolli’s track record and honestly, that’s what makes it all the more terrifying.
Because the truth is, there are way more examples of rich owners and businessmen making absolutely ridiculous decisions than there are examples of smart ones. I mean, didn’t we all laugh for years at Inter Milan’s ownership circus? (
Foza Inda!). And isn’t Manchester United still burning millions on awful transfers to this day? And for all of them, people still say the same thing: “They must know what they’re doing… right?”
Spoiler alert: they usually don’t.
Super-rich people are way easier to fool than you’d think. And their delusions of grandeur almost always get in the way of seeing reality.
I actually graduated from a private school full of ultra-wealthy trust fund kids and with just a bit of charm and small talk, I was buying Pokémon cards off them for peanuts.

Succession gives great examples of multi-millionaire kids thought process. To me, Kendall Roy is the perfect blend of people like John Elkann and Ali Koç. Absolutely nailed it.
If you want to understand just how strong of a structure we had and how far we've drifted from it just because our owner is actually a half brained dimwit (especially when it comes to sports, Scuderia Ferrari is also sucking ass right now) look at this:
Marotta went to Inter Milan, and he's now doing exactly the kind of things weshould be jealous of. He's already been to two Champions League finals with them.
Antonio Conte? Off to Napoli and he’s about to do what he always does: win Serie A as the underdog, just like he did in his first season with Juventus.
Let’s be honest, from here, it’s all uphill for them. And we sold Dean Huijsen, Fagioli and Soule, our future just for some peanuts. Especially if we had Huijsen at the start of the season, when we had lost Bremer, things would be quite different.
My personal take? Under Agnelli’s leadership from 2012 to 2020, we had a golden era and we need a management team made of legends again. Sure, starting with Padoin and Chiellini is nice, but it’s not enough. We need the likes of Buffon, Del Piero, Nedved, real icons of the club.
And most importantly, we need to fully commit to what was actually a brilliant idea: Juventus U23. Build the backbone with future stars, have the patience to let them grow, and stack a skyscraper on top of that foundation.
Back in 2012, we had that spine: Buffon behind the Chiellini–Bonucci–Barzagli wall was arguably the best defensive trio in Europe.
If we hadn’t let someone like Dean Huijsen slip through our fingers, we’d be almost there again.
The talent is coming out of Juventus U23 they can do this. So let’s not lose hope just yet.

If we're not going to win, at least let's have fun in the process. Should've never sacked Pirlo
