Juventus are trying every step of the way to get out of their funk before sacking Luciano Spalletti, who still retains the trust of management and owner. CEO Giovanni Carnevali, who doesn’t usually get involved in dressing room matters, gave a stern address to the players after the Genoa game and they will be back before Sunday’s clash with Napoli. Corriere dello Sport reports.
Pirinch blamed the footballers more, pointing to their inconsistency and lack of character, struggle and, in certain cases, concentration. The staff generally bounced back after being reprimanded, but the reactions didn’t last long.
“Juventus” seniors are not yet thinking seriously about firing Spalletti. It would be the coach’s fifth chance in the last two years.
He is under contract until 2028 with a salary of €6m, so it would be expensive to get rid of him. The Old Lady’s hierarchy does not yet have any advanced backplanes. While the fans want Antonio Conte back, recruiting him and adapting the roster to his demands would be extremely labor intensive. If things continue to unravel, it would be more likely that less difficult candidates like Stefano Pioli or Paulo Sousa or Didier Deschamps will be appointed to lead the team until the end of the season.
Our thoughts on “Juventus” and Spalletti
The players are certainly at fault too, and considering all the injuries, the squad is very mediocre at the moment. The usual pickle in these situations is that you can’t trade them mid-season, so the boss pays the price for everyone. Since they can’t throw an entire season this early, if they don’t show signs of life in the next three tilts, it will be inevitable.
