\n

As we waited months and months for Juventus\u2019 then-brand new general manager Damien Comolli to hire a sporting director to work alongside him, the only real front office addition was that of Fran\u00e7ois Modesto, who arrived as the club\u2019s technical director. It was very much not the front-facing job that Comolli or even Giorgio Chiellini had, but it was one that clearly Comolli wanted to fill shortly after he took charge last summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Modesto was officially hired on July 11, 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Modesto\u2019s departure was officially announced on July 10, 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That\u2019s right \u2014 nearly one year to the day in which Modesto started his tenure at Juventus, it is now officially over, the club announced on Friday<\/a>. In one of those jobs where you are left wondering what exactly he did at Juve considering he was rarely seen outside of photos alongside Comolli before games or at training, Modesto was a rather forgotten man during a 2025-26 season in which the Juve front office got a whole lot of criticism \u2014 and rightfully so \u2014 as the squad failed to qualify for the Champions League. But like Comolli before him, that very large failure is likely what ultimately resulted in him losing his job as we go through another summer of restructuring of the front office.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Here is what Juventus had to say about Modesto\u2019s departure on their website. If you\u2019re hoping for plenty of details or a ton of extremely kind words, this one ain\u2019t it, folks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Juventus announces that it has reached a mutual agreement with Fran\u00e7ois Modesto regarding the termination of his position as Technical Director, effective today.<\/p>\n

The Club would like to thank Fran\u00e7ois for his commitment and professionalism throughout his career and wishes him all the best in his professional and personal future.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That\u2019s not exactly a grand send off. Then again, when you\u2019ve only been around for a year or so and the man who hired you as already left the club as well, there\u2019s only so much they probably want to say about you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And let\u2019s face it \u2014 the writing was on the wall for this one ever since Comolli left Continassa for the final time last month. Once Giovanni Carnevali came in and was named CEO, it was only a matter of time before Modesto \u2014 who was previously sporting director at Monza as they made their way to Serie A \u2014 was on his way out, too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s to the surprise of nobody that Modesto has left Juventus now that Comolli is no longer running the sporting area. Carnevali has brought in Frederic Massara as his Chief Football Officer, with Marco Ottolini remaining on as the club\u2019s sporting director and Chiellini taking on a more business-oriented role in the front office. (The man has a business degree after all, so that is more toward his off-field wheelhouse compared to what he was doing this past season under Comolli\u2019s watch.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
