A few days earlier, the former president of the TFC (2020-2025) confirmed his departure from the Pink City after five years of good and loyal service. “”I resigned this day of the post of President of Toulouse FC with immediate effect. This is undoubtedly the most complicated decision I had to take on a professional level of my entire career, which I have matured for several months now. Because the emotional ties created with the club, the employees, the players, the coaches and the Toulouse city are incredibly strong. We spent 5 extraordinary years dotted with emotions that looked more like dreams than reality when I think back to the situation in June 2020.»»

Freshly arrived in the Piedmont, Comolli was quick to get to work. Besides, Tuttosport and the Gazzetta dello Sport Announce this morning in choir that French has already taken initiatives to relaunch a Juventus in the grip of doubts. Comolli has thus planned three major movements. The first concerns the team's coach, Igor Tudor. In recent weeks, the future of the Croatian at the head of the old lady seemed sealed.

Do not understand there: Tudor will have to help Comolli in his choices for the transfer window. Moreover, one of the first choices concerns a certain Randal Kolo Muani. Loaned this season by Paris Saint-Germain, the 26-year-old French striker scored 16 goals and delivered 1 assist in 16 series A. according to the Gazzetta dello SportComolli's plan is clear: obtaining a new loan from the former Nantes. Negotiations with PSG have already started and Juventus want to go quickly in order to fly to the United States for the Club World Cup with a safe player to stay until the end of the competition.

Finally, Comolli's third priority is to find a new sports director. With the announced departure of Cristiano Giuntoli, the Bianconeri are forced to replace it without much in order to carry out their recruitment campaign. Tuttosport explains to us that several candidates exist, two of whom have evolved in Ligue 1. Namely Hasan Salihamidzic (ex-Bayern Munich), former Rennais Frederic Massara or Diego Lopez, the former sports director of RC Lens. Business to follow.
