Juventus is facing a profound crisis that involves both the coach and the management. After Giuntoli's defeat and Comolli's difficulty, Giovanni Carnevali, CEO and general manager, is now also at the center of attention. Coach Gianluca Spalletti was accused of not having conveyed an identity to the team, leaving the group in the locker room less cohesive. However, the responsibility does not fall solely on him; Carnevali's management has been called into question for decisions made during the season.
Juve's sporting project has been put in crisis by a series of questionable choices. Spalletti's return at the helm of the club, despite failing to qualify for the Champions League, has raised doubts. The general manager should have carefully assessed Spalletti's situation, which for many is still linked to the failure as coach of the national team. At the same time, the summer transfer market proved to be ineffective: the club spent considerable sums without managing to complete two crucial objectives, namely the purchase of an international-level centre-forward and the search for a great leader in midfield. The lack of personnel is evident and has fueled the perception of a Juventus in difficulty.
The prospects for the end of the season seem marked by a possible technical revolution. Carnevali must take a clear position on Spalletti's future, especially with the national competitions approaching. Juve has the choice of defending Certaldo's coach or changing course immediately. The season has just begun and the club cannot afford to give up its ambitions as early as October.
In summary, Juventus is facing a crisis that involves both the management and the coach. The final decision on Spalletti's future and Carnevali's management will be decisive for the future of the club, which has yet to demonstrate that it can return to the level of excellence that its history requires.
