After eight years at the club, Giuseppe Marotta announced he’ll be stepping down as Juventus’ executive director. While the timing appears odd after the club took the next step with the Cristiano Ronaldo acquisition, Juventus wanted to go in a new direction. Rather than describing this departure as a resignation, it would be likely more accurate to call it a mutual decision to part ways.

Rather than replacing Marotta with an external figure such as Zinedine Zidane, current directors Pavel Nedved and Fabio Paratici will receive more responsibility, the club plans on moving forward with a new triumvirate also featuring president Andrea Agnelli
