Chiellini is back at Juventus
Former player, 40, will have new role at Turin club
Giorgio Chiellini is back at Juventus after playing in Turin for 17 years before heading to Los Angeles to finish his footballing career at LAFC at the end of 2023.
The former captain will now be a director, as the club announced this Sunday, in the role of Director of Institutional Football Relations.
Given the player’s importance in the club’s past, the statement is not just another one, but is full of emotion:
«Giorgio Chiellini has never stopped being a Bianconeri: in his heart, in his soul, in the values he has always represented, on and off the pitch. From 16 September, he will wear the manager’s jersey, beginning a management career that will see him involved in representing the Club in relations with national and international football institutions. This role fits perfectly with the training that Giorgio acquired in his academic field, but also with his figure as a man, footballer, captain and Juventus legend.»
This Monday will then be the first day in the new role.
