Frederic Massara Juventus move hints fresh start after Roma
Frederic Massara is set to join Juventus after his departure from Roma, leaving the capital on May 19th. Juventus will officially appoint him as a new executive, finalising a basic agreement in the coming hours.
Juventus is reinforcing its management structure ahead of the new season, and Massara’s experience fits the club’s technical organisation plans. The Bianconeri aim to strengthen their executive team under new leadership, seeing Massara as a valuable addition.
Massara’s year at Roma was marked by a strained relationship with head coach Gasperini. The former sporting director described the season as difficult.

Despite internal turbulence, Roma secured a return to the Champions League, their first appearance since the 2017-18 campaign. The Giallorossi’s qualification adds a positive note to an otherwise challenging period. Roma’s new leadership under Carnevali has already reshaped the club’s direction after the departure of former sporting director Comolli. Massara called Comolli’s tenure a “very negative experience”. In his farewell statement, Massara thanked the owners for the opportunity to return to an environment to which he is particularly attached. He wished the entire AS Roma family every success. For Juventus, Massara’s arrival provides fresh expertise to guide the Bianconeri’s executive operations. For Roma, his exit closes a turbulent chapter and allows the Giallorossi to move forward under Carnevali’s vision.
