What happened: Juventus has officially confirmed the departure of CEO Damien Comolli, effective immediately. The decision follows a tumultuous season where the club failed to secure Champions League qualification for the first time in 15 years.
Why it matters: The move signals a major management overhaul led by club owner John Elkann after Juventus parted ways with Comolli following the 2025-26 campaign. Missing the Champions League created a significant financial shortfall, making the CEO's position untenable.
By the numbers: Juventus finished 6th in Serie A with 69 points (19-12-7) and a +27 goal difference. The club missed the top four by two points, ultimately settling for a Europa League berth.
What to watch: Fans now await the appointment of a successor as the club restructures its sporting department ahead of the 2026-27 season. Technical director Francois Modesto is also reportedly at risk.
