Alessio Secco

Alessio Secco

Alessio Secco is an Italian director of football for the Italian club Juventus.

Alessio Secco was promoted to his current position in the aftermath of former director Luciano Moggi's departure following the Calciopoli scandal.

Secco joined the Juventus ranks in 1999 as a press secretary, but started working as team manager in 2000, directly under Luciano Moggi. He rose to his current position on May 23rd, 2006.

Alessio Secco has been under constant criticism by "Biancanera" fans due to his failure in buying top class players. He is responsible for the purchases of players such as Tiago Mendes, Sergio Almirón, and Jean-Alain Boumsong (during the 2007-2008 season) of whom only Tiago remains at the club. During the January transfer window, he signed Mohamed Sissoko and Guglielmo Stendardo, the latter on a loan deal. Since June 2008, Secco has made the purchases of Amauri, Dario Knezevic, Olof Mellberg, Albin Ekdal and, most recently, Christian Poulsen.cite web | url=http://juventus.com/site/eng/TAS_primasquadra.asp| title=Juventus First team | accessdate=14 July| accessyear=2008.]

In December 2007, Secco was accused of having conversations with former boss Luciano Moggi, while Moggi was under an imposed 5-year ban from football.

In February 2008 Secco was alledgedly speaking to representatives of Genoa.
