CF Montreal announces that Corey Wray will now occupy the position of soccer director.

Wray was hired as a consultant on July 9. He will act in support of President and CEO Gabriel Gervais.

Luca Saputo has been appointed senior director, recruitment and sports methodology. One of his main responsibilities will be to ensure the link with Bologna FC. He will work closely with Raffaele Frassetti, who becomes the team’s head scout.

His brother, Simone Saputo, is now Senior Director, Academy Strategy and Membership Management. He will notably manage the Academy and monitor players on loan. Joey Saputo’s two sons had already been fulfilling these functions for several months.

This sporting structure allows us to maximize our strategic vision, indicated Gabriel Gervais in a press release. We want to have increased rigor in recruitment, clear processes and a structured approach, while placing emphasis on analytics, the development of young talents from the Academy and high-potential players in our squad.

According to the press release, there is no sports director in the new structure, a position held by Olivier Renard until his departure.
