In a parallel announcement, the club also confirmed a new role for former captain Giorgio Chiellini. The double appointment represents a substantial restructuring of the Bianconeri’s sporting hierarchy, combining Massara’s expertise in football management with Chiellini’s deep institutional knowledge from his years of service as a player.
