Comolli Postpones Internal Meetings at Juventus Before Crucial Talks with Elkann

Reports on Thursday indicated that Juventus CEO, Damian Comolli, postponed several meetings with the club's staff this week ahead of crucial talks with the club's owner, John Elkann.

The developments indicate that Comolli's future with Juventus is uncertain after just one season in Turin, as the team is close to missing qualification for the 2026/2027 UEFA Champions League season. They are currently in sixth place, two points away from the top four, ahead of the final round of the Italian league, needing favorable results from several teams.

The summer contracts overseen by Comolli last year did not receive the anticipated approval, especially the deals for Lois Openda and Edon Zhegrova. Additionally, there are indications of a lack of harmony with coach Luciano Spalletti, along with criticisms of his administrative decisions and leadership style.

Spalletti and Comolli are scheduled to meet with John Elkann after the end of the 2025/2026 season, specifically next Tuesday according to the latest updates.

In the same context, the newspaper "Tuttosport" reported that Juventus' absence from the Champions League next season will make it unsustainable for Comolli to remain in his position, while the final decision rests with Elkann.

The newspaper added that Comolli postponed a series of meetings, starting with a meeting with the scouting department on Monday, followed by a general meeting with the club staff on Tuesday, before his crucial meeting with John Elkann the following week.

The data indicates that these developments strengthen the scenario of Comolli leaving the club after just one season in the position.
