After Igor Tudor, Javier Ribalta and Pablo Longoria.
Earlier this week,
Tuttosport
assured that the Olympian coach was the priority of the leaders of Juventus Turin to succeed Massimiliano Allegri in the offseason – in the event that he were to leave, of course.
This Thursday,
La Provence
affirms that the Bianconeri are also interested in the director of football ... and the president of Olympique de Marseille.
Passed by Juventus Turin
Juventus Turin is going through a (very) difficult period.
Stuck in several cases for several months, she is among other things suspected of accounting fraud.
As a reminder, its president Andrea Agnelli resigned at the end of 2022 and she also suffered fifteen penalty points in Serie A. If she is interested in Javier Ribalta (42) and Pablo Longoria (36), it is in particular because they know the Turin house well.
Indeed, they officiated there as recruitment managers, respectively between 2012 and 2017 and between 2015 and 2018. But if they are in the little papers of the Bianconeri, they would not appear at the very top of the list.
At least for the moment.
“
They are not among the hottest tracks, but you have to be attentive, because the situation is evolving
“, said a connoisseur of Serie A in
La Provence

They straightened Olympique de Marseille
Arrived on the Canebière in August 2020 as General Manager of Professional Football, Pablo Longoria donned the costume of the Olympian club in February 2021, thus succeeding the unpopular Jacques-Henri Eyraud.
In a few months, the Spanish leader managed to straighten out the Marseille team.
In 2021-2022, Jorge Sampaoli - whom he went to get shortly after taking office - and his men snatched
in extremis
second place, synonymous with qualification for the Champions League.
In the process, the ex-recruiter of Atalanta Bergamo brought in his friend, Javier Ribalta, as sporting director.
During the summer, following the surprise departure of the Argentine coach, the two men transformed the Marseille squad.
With success since Olympique de Marseille is currently in second place in the standings.
