Job Description

At Juventus, performance It’s a culture.
It’s how we prepare, protect, and push our athletes to compete at the highest level, every single day.

We’re looking for a Head of Performance to lead the strategic integration and continuous optimisation of our multidisciplinary performance function, working at the heart of an elite football environment.

 

🎯 The challenge
You will act as the central performance integrator, aligning sports science, strength & conditioning, nutrition, and return‑to‑play to maximise player availability, physical output, and long‑term athlete development.
From first team to academy pathway, you’ll translate scientific insight into applied football practice — driving evidence‑based decisions that make a real impact on the pitch.

 

⚽ What you’ll lead

  • A world‑class performance programme for the Men’s First Team

  • Integrated frameworks for load management, injury risk reduction, and return‑to‑play

  • Cross‑functional collaboration with technical and medical leadership

  • Performance intelligence that supports strategic and match‑critical decision‑making

 

👤 Who we’re looking for

You'll bring a rare mix of scientific expertise, applied football experience, and leadership, including:

  • At least 10 years of experience in Performance roles within professional football

  • Proven delivery of elite football performance and periodisation models, including RTP and athletic development

  • Advanced expertise in performance technologies (GPS, AMS, testing systems, gym programming)

  • Strong capability to monitor, interpret, and prescribe load using multi‑source physiological data

  • Deep knowledge of injury epidemiology, reconditioning principles, and RTP progressions in elite football

  • Confidence in communicating complex performance data clearly to players, coaches, and staff

  • Experience in integrating multidisciplinary teams, breaking silos and driving shared performance objectives

  • Sound judgement in high‑pressure, time‑critical decisions (match‑day availability, congested schedules)

  • A track record of developing staff and scaling performance structures within elite environments

 

🚀 Why Juventus

Because here, performance means competing in another league — every day.
You’ll work in a club where ambition, innovation, and accountability set the standard, and where your expertise will directly shape how we prepare to win.
