OFFICIAL: DAMIEN COMOLLI NAMED NEW JUVENTUS CEO AMID BIG CHANGES
Juventus appoints Damien Comolli as their new Chief Executive Officer, signalling a major shift in leadership. The data-driven executive is now tasked with leading the club's revival and transfer strategy.

Earlier today, Juventus made a brief announcement announcing the significant expansion of Damien Comolli's involvement with the team.
At its meeting today, which was chaired by Gianluca Ferrero, the Board of Directors of Juventus Football Club S.p.A. ("Juventus" or the "Company") made decisions regarding, among other things, the appointment of corporate officers, the delegation of authority to the Directors, the formation of Board committees, and the selection of their members.
Damien Comolli's former role as General Manager was terminated concurrently with his appointment as Chief Executive Officer by the Board of Directors, which gave him executive authority largely consistent with the previous framework.
With the recent appointment of Luciano Spalletti as manager, the club has been in a period of transition for what seems like years since Andrea Agnelli left at the top. This seems like an attempt to establish the power structure and hopefully turn things around moving forward.
Comolli is a French football executive who began his career coaching and scouting young players before moving up to high-level executive roles. He has also provided recruitment advice to other clubs.
Known for his data-driven, "Moneyball" approach to player acquisition, he has served as president of Toulouse and held senior positions at teams including Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, and Fenerbahçe. For Juventus, this will be a welcome shift from their history of paying free agents outrageous salaries that rendered them untradable.
After Cristiano Giuntoli left, Comolli took over as acting manager of transfer operations. In the past, he has worked as a sporting director at Saint-Étienne, Tottenham, Liverpool, and Fenerbahçe in addition to scouting for Arsenal.
MIDFIELDER ADRIEN RABIOT’S RETURN PIVOTAL, ANALYTICS PROVE HUGE TEAM INFLUENCE
AC Milan's stats reveal a stark contrast with and without Adrien Rabiot. Since his injury, the team has been inconsistent, underscoring his vital role as they prepare for the crucial derby against Inter.
Rabiot's comeback is essential, stats emphasise crucial influence - COURTESY/PHOTO
Adrien Rabiot has not played for AC Milan since the international break in October, and the team's statistics indicate they need him back for the derby.
Rabiot is 30 years old and has played in 212 games for Juventus, 56 for the French national team, and 227 for PSG. He has a wealth of experience, and Massimiliano Allegri clearly values him because he immediately adapted to the team days after arriving in the summer.
The midfield player has been sidelined for a month due to a muscle injury he received while travelling with France in October. All indications, however, suggest that he will return to play against Inter on November 23, particularly because Les Bleus have not called him up and have permitted him to stay at Milanello.
Milan is considerably more balanced with Rabiot. They have won three, drawn one, and—most importantly—only let up one goal (a penalty) versus Napoli in their four league games with him on the field.
Before the injury sustained while representing France, Adrien had never been substituted and was consistently a starter. They are the midfield's brains, along with Luka Modric, who has started all 11 league games so far.
Five additional games have been played after he was injured while playing for the national team, but the results have been far less consistent: two victories, three draws, and six goals let up. When you factor in the Cremonese loss in the first round, it comes to 12 points and eight goals given up in eight games.
Rabiot's input is essential. Modric has the ideal assistant playmaker in him, but that is not all. The club has a player who can influence the game in both phases thanks to their intelligence, passing, and dynamism.
He is an all-around player, and when toughness is needed, like during Parma's collapse over the weekend, his size really helps. His return is much needed, especially considering the pressure Milan will face in the derby
ATALANTA MAKE BOLD MOVE — IVAN JURIC SACKED AFTER WEAK START
Atalanta has sacked coach Ivan Juric after a poor start and will replace him with Raffaele Palladino. The former Fiorentina boss, a disciple of Gian Piero Gasperini, is set to sign a contract until 2027.

Despite Atalanta's valuable Champions League victory over Olympique Marseille, the management decided to fire coach Ivan Juric due to his poor performance against Sassuolo. Raffaele Palladino will take over as coach. Juric had been under intense scrutiny since their first loss to Udinese.
According to Corriere della Sera, the Croat defeated the more costly Thiago Motta last summer. La Dea drew a lot but did not lose until the tenth round. They are now nine points out of the top four Champions League spots in 13th place. The manager never seemed to get along with the players, and he and Ademola Lookman recently got into a public argument.
Following Juric, Atalanta will look to Raffaele Palladino, another protégé of Gian Piero Gasperini. He left Fiorentina last summer after placing eighth, allegedly because he did not agree with the administration.
After Stefano Pioli was fired, he was rumoured to have a brief reconciliation with the Viola, but it never materialised. He will sign a deal that will last until 2027. Before relocating to Tuscany, he enjoyed a prosperous tenure at Monza.
Our Opinion on Atalanta
Although it was hardly the most daring move they could have made, it might have succeeded if he had been able to communicate his ideas and have the team play as hard as his Torino teams, where he lacked as much skill. For whatever reason, it hardly ever occurred. It soon became clear that the latter had a better chance lined up and did not seek to return to the Viola. Although it is not always a significant improvement, he has a greater chance of communicating because he is more proactive, sympathetic, adaptable, and less strict than his predecessor.
