The football world is always buzzing, but some of the most interesting plays happen off the field. Right now, all eyes are on Juventus, the Italian giants, as they look for a new sports director. It seems they want someone specific: a person already working at another club, but who will be free once the summer transfer window closes.
Word from ‘Corriere dello Sport’, a respected Italian sports paper, points to Rui Pedro Braz as a top candidate. This 47-year-old Portuguese executive fits the description perfectly. He’s set to leave Benfica, often called “the Luz” by fans, after this current transfer period. This timing makes him a prime target for Juventus. People are saying it’s the ideal moment for someone with his background to step into such a big role.
Juventus needs this new director in place by September. The club is carefully scouting their options. Braz isn’t the only name floating around. Marco Ottolini, who currently serves as the sports director for Genoa, is also on the list, according to the same Italian reports. For now, the French executive Damien Comolli is handling all of the “Old Lady’s” summer player dealings. But the hunt for a long-term leader behind the scenes is clearly on.
