Cristiano Giuntoli, now the former head of football at Juventus, chose a deeply personal approach to say goodbye to the club and its players. Instead of relying on cold messages or formal emails, La Gazzetta dello Sport report (as quoted by IlBianconero) how Giuntoli picked up the phone and called every single member of the squad—27 players in total. From Adzic to Yildiz, including stalwarts like Manuel Locatelli, Federico Gatti, Gleison Bremer, Andrea Cambiaso, Dusan Vlahovic, and newcomers such as Teun Koopmeiners, Nico Gonzalez, and Randal Kolo Muani, no one was left out.
This marathon of phone calls stretched across several hours and time zones, as many Juventus players are currently scattered around the globe on international duty. Giuntoli’s gesture reflected his signature style: direct, personal, and grounded in genuine relationships rather than just professional roles.
According to reports, these calls were heartfelt and sincere, marking the end of Giuntoli’s official tenure with Juventus after two intense seasons filled with pressure and ambition. Now, Giuntoli plans to take a break to spend more time with his partner and son. However, his future remains a topic of interest, with Atletico Madrid reportedly keen to bring him into their management team, captivated by his leadership profile.
