According to Corriere dello Sport, Marco Ottolini, who just resigned from Genoa on Friday, will become the sporting director of Juventus.

Juventus announced a coaching change this week, and new coach Spalletti has taken office. Juventus executive Chiellini revealed on Wednesday that Juventus will be looking for a new director. Juventus general manager Comolli also said: "Sports director? We are looking. There is a short list of candidates, but we are still looking." "Corriere dello Sport" pointed out that all signs indicate that Marco Ottolini will become Juventus' new sports director.

Marco Ottolini just left Genoa on Friday, and Genoa introduced Diego Lopez as a replacement. Diego Lopez left Lens 10 days ago due to disagreements with the club president. Diego Lopez was also one of the candidates for Juventus' new sporting director before, but now he goes to Genoa, indicating that Juventus's finalized new director is not him.

In fact, Marco Ottolini broke up with Genoa very quickly. Just a week ago, he said that he had not received any calls from Juventus and that he was focused on considering the interests of the Genoa club. Just a few days ago, Marco Ottolini publicly expressed his trust in Genoa coach Vieira and seemed to have no intention of leaving. But in the end Marco Ottolini left Genoa earlier than Vieira.

Marco Ottolini worked at Juventus Club from 2018 to 2022, and then he went to Genoa Club. He has been one of the candidates for Juve's sporting director in the past few months, and this time he can return to his old club to take on a more important role. Juventus is expected to make an official announcement within a few days, but caution and confidentiality will still need to be maintained until an official announcement is made. Marco Ottolini is familiar with Serie A and Juventus, which may have been the decisive factor in Juventus ultimately choosing him as sporting director.
