FRANCO CERAVOLO

Sporting Director & Talent Scout

About Me

A life dedicated to football, spent first on the fields as a player and then behind a desk, with my heart always on the green pitch. My career is built on passion, dedication, and a constant pursuit of excellence.

From the formative years at Maradona's Napoli to the winning cycles with Juventus, I have had the privilege of contributing to the success of prestigious clubs in Italy and abroad. I believe in a football that combines strategic vision, planning, and the ability to recognize and cultivate talent, to build competitive teams and leave a lasting legacy.
