Juventus have reiterated their trust in Antonio Spalletti, who has not been questioned after the recent match against Rennes. President AurelioCarnevali and technical director Massara underlined that the replacement of the coach was not even on the agenda, as was the ownership of the club. John Elkann, with his recent visit to Detroit, also expressed full confidence in Spalletti's management, highlighting the need for stability, work and planning to bring the team back to a level of excellence.
The result against Rennes, a comeback draw, was considered a positive sign but not enough. Juventus has shown that it is ready to react to difficulties, but must continue to produce concrete results to remain in the top five or six places of the table. Spalletti said the team is looking for solutions to overcome the season compromised by injuries to key players such as Yildiz, Thuram and Locatelli, who are expected to return between December and the end of January. Meanwhile, the winter market could offer further corrections.
The next appointment is the match at Marassi against Genoa, led by his student DeRossi. Spalletti has already asked for confirmation and a further step forward. Meanwhile, Lecce showed difficulties in the second half, leaving the coach worried. To avoid a crisis, Spalletti reconsidered the defensive structure, restoring the three-man defense and increasing the coverage with three midfielders. Although it is not the ideal formation to launch a new cycle, it was chosen to ensure balance and solidity.
Juventus presents itself as a working team, humble and ready to fight. The priority remains the production of results, as requested by the parent company. With Spalletti's management still on the pitch, the team aims to consolidate its position and prepare for any interventions in the winter transfer market, maintaining the hope of a solid restart in the coming months.
