If this true, I expect us to be linked to Sartori. Rebuild Atalanta and Bologna with good scouting.


But my main wish would be Luis Campos. @Firestarter would know why. But odds of him leaving super rich PSG he rebuild with lots of quality young core, for barebones Juve, is slim.
We definitely should lean ever more on the next gen academy and system. Scout the best talent and then shape them to play our style. Export footballers from a club with a reputation for teaching them to grind and work hard.

We should in theory be able to build the best football academy in the world - we have the money and status for it.

First team signings will always be expensive because everybody hates us....but then again once our profile is raised once more players should start pushing for a move to us again.

Cristiano Giuntoli and Maurizio Scanavino are at risk of being fired, as revealed.Elkann is not happy with the financial and technical management. From Alcaraz to Kelly, Giuntoli's work is judged negative.Awaiting the latest data on the budget where the UCL qualification will weigh. For this reason, Juventus has begun to probe the management market: exploratory contacts with Massara and Salihamidzic in case of Giuntoli’s debacle.Salihamidzic is esteemed as a former Juventus player and has already had a managerial career at high levels such as Bayern.(Nick Semeraro)
@BayernFan what was the overall view on salihamidzic when he was in charge of bayern?

He made some good signings. He discovered Davies and Tel, Goretzka also turned out well.

On the negative side, he handed out massive contracts to the likes of Gnabry, Goretzka and Coman when it was time to renew their contracts. And now we're stuck with the two Germans as they have no intention leaving, no club will pay them anywhere near that salary.

He signed lots of flop players like Lucas Hernandez, Sadio Mané, Mazraoui, Roca, Cuisance, Omar Richards, Sabitzer, Bouna Sarr and you could also include De Ligt I suppose.

But the list of flop players is way too long for me to miss him at all. To be fair, quite a number of these players are solid names and it was hard to predict they wouldn't succeed. But at the end of the day that's on him, also to have a fetish for Nagelsmann (buying him out from his Leipzig contract made him the most expensive manager transfer in history), then sacking him after not even 2 years. That shows incompetence and very shortsight, you knew (or should've known) what you got when hiring such a young guy.

And he was only hired in the first place because of Uli Hoeness - and kept in the job for so long also. He made some exciting transfers, like those with Sadio Mané, Lucas Hernandez and De Ligt. But at the end of the day he failed in his role.

I don't miss him, that's for sure.

Yup confirms my suspicion. Alright lads, give Luis Campos a call, sell the dream and get him through the door of la continassa!

The hate towards Elkann/ownership just doesnt make much sense to me. Hes not in charge of signing players, coaching, or playing. When it was apparent they needed a real sporting director he hired the one that just won a scudetto. When it was apparent they needed a coach he signed off on the hot young name and ate money on Allegri’s contract. Now he signed off on canning Motta before he finished his first season. Has he blocked any moves? Seems he lets his employees do their jobs.

Hes not much different than Agnelli, the guy the majority want back who also got a lot of undeserved shit while he was in charge. The only difference is Agnelli seems to enjoy the sport a lot more. But you dont necessarily need your owner to be hands on to be succesful. Just my opinion, and would still love Agnelli back.
How is he not much different from Agnelli? Agnelli was basically at Vinovo every fucking day. He laid out a managerial hierarchy at the club which was the basis of our success. Right now Elkann hasn't done much at all.

Old news from a Google search:
"Ferrari 458 Spider caught fire just one hour after delivery. After saving for ten years, Honkon, a Japanese music producer, had finally acquired the luxury car in Tokyo on April 16th. While driving on the Shuto Expressway, he noticed smoke, stopped the car, and escaped before it was engulfed in flames. The fire was extinguished in about 20 minutes, but the car was mostly destroyed. The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the cause of the fire."
