The move comes as no surprise, given Paratici was already sporting director before Marotta’s departure last month and next in line to succeed the 61-year-old. He was considered particularly influential in Cristiano Ronaldo’s €112m transfer to Juve from Real Madrid over the summer. Elsewhere, Giorgio Ricci is Chief Revenue Officer and Marco Re is Chief Financial Officer, taking over from Aldo Mazzia. The trio form a new-look board, split into three operational areas, with Paratici [pictured, far left] also given the title of Chief Football Officer.

Allegri more flexible’ https://www.football-italia.net/132462/paratici-‘signing-ronaldo-was-easy’ https://www.football-italia.net/132463/paratici-‘allegri-more-flexible’ Dec 24, 2018 Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici reveals it was “quite simple” to sign Cristiano Ronaldo because “there was no real need to convince him”. The Portuguese superstar joined the Bianconeri in the summer for €100m, a deal which stunned the football world. There was skepticism when the Italian champions’ interest was first announced, but in reality the transfer was smooth. “With Cristiano it was quite simple because he already had it in his head to come to Juventus,” Paratici told Sky. “There was no real need to convince him. I think around May 25, after the Champions League final he decided. He said: ‘if there’s Juve, then I only want Juve’. “When we met with [agent Jorge] Mendes to talk about Joao Cancelo he told me: ‘you won’t believe this, but Cristiano wants to come to Juventus’. “I replied: ’it’s not that I don’t believe it, but it seems difficult to make everything fit’. “President [Andrea] Agnelli is very present in our daily lives, because he’s always with us or at least reachable, so we can easily meet. “We plan for days, but this wasn’t planned. I said to him: ‘there could be an opportunity, but it’s important you listen to me until the end’. “When you turn up to his office and tell him you need to buy Cristiano Ronaldo… it was good sporting news, but then there’s the other part. He understood immediately though, and I realised he was already thinking along those lines. “When I left his office I thought we could get there. Agnelli said ‘give me a day or two to think about it’, but he called me after three hours. “To draw up all the contracts we rented a villa on Lake Maggiore for a whole day, with all the representatives of Juventus and the player.” Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici explains Antonio Conte wanted “functionality”, while Max Allegri is “more flexible, he doesn’t have one system”. The director was a big part of the Bianconeri revival, taking care of transfers along with Giuseppe Marotta. The latter has now moved to Inter, with his protege responsible for the sporting area in his absence. “I think we were very well matched, complementary,” Paratici explained to Sky. “I’d deal with the purely technical side of things, the scouting, the relationship with the agents, identifying the players. “Then there was a meeting with him, he’s a very knowledgeable person who knows football and knows the numbers really well, so he’d tell you how far you could go in a negotiation. “The best thing is that we were so well matched. I carried things until the final stage, then he intervened with his experience and helped me make as few mistakes as possible. “I think the toughest negotiation, overall, was the one for [Carlos] Tevez. He’s a player we contacted at the end of our first year [2010-11] at Juventus, when we hadn’t had a good season. “We had to relaunch Juve and we contacted Tevez all the same, even though we hadn’t qualified for the Champions League. It’s hard to get the great players when you’re not in the Champions League. “He said immediately though: ‘Yes, even if we are not in the Champions League, I will come to Juve’. “The deal didn’t get done for other reasons, financial and so on, but we stayed in touch because it was always my objective to bring Tevez to Juventus. “Conte and Allegri? The transfer market with Conte was down to a player’s functionality with respect to what he wanted him to do. “That’s a legitimate thing, indeed it makes the job of those who are looking for players easier. “Conte had a style of play and, quite rightly, we had to find players who suited a system. “Allegri, in that sense, is more flexible. He doesn’t have one system, he’s more open and has more solutions. So the transfer targets are expanded a bit more.” The Bianconeri’s big ambition remains to win the Champions League, having been beaten in the final in both 2015 and 2017. “It’s our ambition, but not an obsession.” Condividi questo messaggio Link di questo messaggio Condividi su altri siti

The Portuguese joined the Bianconeri from Real Madrid for €100m in the summer, but the deal had been in the works for some time. “Ronaldo is Ronaldo, there’s not much else to say,” Paratici said at the Dubai International Sports Conference. “We’re happy with him, and not just from a technical point of view. He works so hard every day and is an example. “When you see the guy who’s number one working like that, everyone feels obliged to do the same thing. “It all happened very quickly. It was a historic transfer, and we need to thank the President and Real Madrid, because selling a player like that isn’t easy. “The first contact was in the Champions League quarter-finals, Jorge Mendes told me that Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to sign for Juventus. “I thought it was a joke, then we met to discuss Cancelo and he brought Ronaldo up again. At that point I realised we could try, and I went to talk to [President Andrea] Agnelli. “It wasn’t easy, but he was immediately positive from a technical point of view, as well as the player’s motivation and what he could bring to our brand. “After a few hours he called me back and told me to try.” How did Massimiliano Allegri react? “When I told the Coach he was very happy, he’s a lucky Coach. Allegri talked about it with the commercial directors, we looked at the numbers and decided it would be advantageous to proceed.” Condividi questo messaggio Link di questo messaggio Condividi su altri siti

In probably the strangest story to have hit the headlines in this January transfer window, Il Tempo newspaper claims director of sport Paratici was at a restaurant in a hotel in Milan this week and wrote down some notes. He tore up the piece of paper and left, but someone nearby recognised him and put the pieces back together. This included a list of names with figures next to them. Roma teenage talent Zaniolo had 40m next to it, Brescia midfielder Tonali 20m, Genoa defender Cristian Romero 20m, Fiorentina star Chiesa 50m and RB Salzburg’s Dominik Szoboszlai 10m. On another side of the paper was the name Miralem Pjanic next to Savic, implying for one to arrive from Lazio, the other would need to leave.

Marotta and Allegri played key roles in turning Juve into the dominant force they are in Serie A today, but the Old Lady have since promoted Fabio Paratici to the role of general manager, while ex-Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri is now Coach. “Marotta knows what he’s doing, Paratici no,” Cobolli Gigli, who was patron between 2006 and 2009, told Radio Punto Nuovo. “It’s well-documented that I don’t have great respect for Sarri, for his past statements. “As a Coach I can’t hide he did well with Napoli and Chelsea, but there were other Coaches who could’ve replaced Allegri, Guardiola for one. “I’m someone who doesn’t forget things. I remember Sarri’s statements and gestures. “It seems to me that Sarri went too far and I don’t think he can change. He’s at a certain age. “We’ll see what he does as a Coach. His [first] Press conference seemed well-constructed to me. “it seemed to me that he’d forgotten everything he previously said. He wasn’t very coherent.” The 74-year-old then reserved particular criticism for Paratici, accusing him of mishandling the Bianconeri’s transfer dealings over the summer. “I think the problem with Emre Can stems from a bad transfer window overseen by Paratici. Marotta wouldn’t have overseen such one. “Mandzukic and Emre Can can’t be excluded. Dybala was only included because they couldn’t sell him. “Paratici and Andrea Agneli were wrong, the latter because he gave the former too much freedom. “The players know that if they perform well, they can also find teams in January, perhaps more prestigious ones. “Lukaku was a big setback. Marotta managed to fix the Icardi situation because he knows what he’s doing, Paratici no. “I’d have preferred Allegri to stay, like Agnelli and Nedved had said. There was some miscommunication. “I’d have preferred Guardiola or Deschamps. Ancelotti wouldn’t have left Napoli.” Condividi questo messaggio Link di questo messaggio Condividi su altri siti
