Marotta director of the year

By Football Italia staff

Juventus general manager Giuseppe Marotta has been named Director of the Year by the Football Leaders conference.

The Bianconeri director revolutionised the squad last summer, with Andrea Pirlo, Arturo Vidal and Carlos Tevez leaving, while players such as Paulo Dybala, Sami Khedira and Alex Sandro arrived.

A poor start to the season saw Marotta draw criticism from elements of the Juve support, but the Old Lady have since opened-up a nine point lead at the top of Serie A and reached the Coppa Italia final.

The award is voted for by a panel of journalists, and will be presented to Marotta during the event which is scheduled for 24, 25 and 26 May in Amalfi.
