A major change is underway at Toulouse FC as club president Damien Comolli has officially stepped down from his position.
The announcement was made to club staff on Wednesday, marking the end of a transformative five-year era under Comolli’s leadership.
Appointed in 2020 following the club’s acquisition by RedBird Capital Partners, Comolli has been a key figure in the resurgence of Toulouse.
Under his guidance, the club earned promotion back to Ligue 1 in 2022 and went on to claim the Coupe de France title in 2023.
Toulouse finished 10th in Ligue 1 this past season, but Comolli’s departure signals more than a seasonal evaluation.
Speculation is already mounting around his next move with Italian giants Juventus reportedly keeping a close eye on the experienced executive.
Comolli, a former sporting director at clubs like Tottenham, Liverpool, and Saint-Étienne, is renowned for his sharp eye for talent.
He famously played a role in the discovery and development of players such as Luka Modrić and Hugo Lloris.
With Juventus undergoing structural changes, including managerial and sporting director shifts, Comolli is seen as a potential candidate for a key leadership role in Turin.
The Bianconeri, who are aiming to rebuild their identity both on and off the pitch, could see Comolli as the man to help lead them into a new era.
For now, neither Juventus nor Comolli have confirmed any contact or negotiations, but sources suggest that the interest is mutual.
Toulouse now faces a pivotal moment in its evolution as it searches for a new figure to guide the club’s ambitions.
Meanwhile, the Italian football world watches closely to see whether Damien Comolli’s next chapter will be written in black and white.
