Former Juventus and coach Andrea Barzagli is backing their appointment of Cristiano Giuntoli.
Giuntoli is set to leave Napoli to become sporting director of Juventus.
Barzagli told Tuttosport: "Having a manager who knows football and is good at identifying the right players, as he demonstrated in Naples together with his staff, is a great advantage.
"He will be a great coup for Juve."
Giuntoli is on his way after securing a release from his contract at Napoli.
