Giorgio Chiellini has returned to Juventus, taking on a managerial role focusing on relations with national and international football institutions. Chiellini never truly left the Bianconeri - his heart, soul and values have always remained connected to the club, both on and off the field.
While many former players look toward coaching once they retire, Chiellini has always clearly been on track to a directorial career. He earned an economics degree at the University of Turin in 2010, and in 2017 he earned a masters in business administration, graduating with honors each time.
Chiellini has impressed people all over the world with his sense for the business side of the game. Will Kuntz, assistant general manager of LAFC, where he finished out his playing career after his emotional farewell from Juventus in 2022, said in a piece from The Guardian after Chiellini's retirement that his aptitude for sports business was "off the charts."
LAFC's vice president of soccer operations, John Thorrington, remarked on Chiellini's capabilities, stating, "Whenever he engages with myself and ownership, it is clear he has the intellectual horsepower and capacity to be of great value to any club once he is finished playing."
