Giuntoli: 'Atalanta trying to find ourselves, Juventus didn't give me time'
Cristiano Giuntoli, recently appointed as Atalanta's sporting director after his departure from Juventus, gave a candid press conference reflecting on his tenure at the Turin club and outlining his task in Bergamo. He suggested Juventus lacked patience with his project, while stressing that Atalanta are still in a phase of self-discovery following significant structural changes. His comments arrive at a delicate moment for both clubs, with Juventus reshaping their sporting direction and Atalanta navigating a transitional period after the Percassi era's evolution.
Read the full story at football-italia.netGiuntoli's arrival at Atalanta is one of the more intriguing front-office moves in Serie A this cycle. A sporting director credited with building Napoli's Scudetto-winning squad and then tasked with restructuring Juventus finds himself in Bergamo, where the bar set by Gasperini's era remains extraordinarily high. His admission that Atalanta are 'trying to find ourselves' signals a club in transition rather than decline, and his pointed remark about Juventus suggests there is more context to his Turin exit than has been publicly shared. For Atalanta fans, the key question is whether Giuntoli can replicate the recruitment efficiency that defined his previous roles.
