Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli risks the sack – His future depends on two factors The future of Juventus Football Director Cristiano Giuntoli is reportedly hanging in the balance, as the hierarchy could decide to wield the axe. The 53-year-old made a name for himself during his spell at Carpi and then went on to find great success at Napoli. ............ Therefore, Giuntoli’s first real transfer campaign at the helm was last summer, overseeing a major overhaul. ............ However, several of the director’s acquisitions have failed to impress thus far, and his chosen head coach, Thiago Motta, endured an abysmal eight months at Continassa before being taken out of his misery. Therefore, Giuntoli’s work has been under great scrutiny, and Juventus majority owner, John Elkann, could decide to remove him from his post. As the source explains, Champions League qualification could play a decisive factor in the equation, as the director is unlikely to be sacked if the club secures a place in Europe’s elite club competition, which has been identified as the main objective of the campaign. On the contrary, Giuntoli would be at a major risk of losing his job if the team falls short in this regard. ............ .

Alessio Tacchinardi reveals what is special about Juventus under Tudor Igor Tudor is the latest manager entrusted with the responsibility of guiding Juventus to a top-four finish as the Serie A season approaches its conclusion. At the start of the campaign, Thiago Motta was in charge, and the club held high expectations for his tenure. However, as the season progressed, it became increasingly apparent that the team was not performing to the required standard under his leadership. Consequently, Juventus made the decision to part ways with Motta and appointed Tudor as his replacement. ............ While some observers may not see a dramatic transformation in the team’s style of play, others have noted a significant shift in attitude and spirit. Alessio Tacchinardi is among those who believe that Tudor has instilled a renewed sense of purpose within the squad. He stated, “I am confident for the match against Lazio and for the Champions League qualification because with Tudor I see a Juventus with a soul. The Bianconeri must win the direct clash at the home of the Biancocelesti on Saturday and then continue at full speed in the last two matches against Udinese and Venezia, because it will be a fight until the end for fourth place. Igor excels in the battle, and the players must follow him in everything. At this point, more than tactics and technique, what makes the difference are nerves, tenacity, spirit.” ............ .

One area that Cristiano Giuntoli has failed so far at Juventus Juventus have placed their trust in Cristiano Giuntoli to restore the club to the summit of Italian football. The sporting director joined last season following a highly successful period at Napoli, where he was instrumental in assembling a squad that ultimately secured the Serie A title. During his tenure with the Partenopei, Napoli consistently performed at a high level, and Giuntoli’s influence was widely recognised as a key factor in their domestic triumph. ............ However, despite his reputation, Giuntoli’s early performance at Juventus has come under scrutiny. One area in particular where he has underdelivered is in the transfer market. The report highlights a number of decisions regarding player sales and acquisitions that have not yielded the desired results. Juventus have parted ways with players such as Dean Huijsen, Moise Kean, and Nicolo Fagioli, all of whom have gone on to perform well elsewhere. In contrast, the individuals brought in to replace them have largely failed to make a meaningful impact, raising questions about the strategic direction of the club’s transfer policy. ............ Giuntoli now faces the challenge of quickly correcting course. With limited time to impress, he must begin making sound and effective decisions if he is to succeed in his role and help steer Juventus back to the top of Italian football. ............ .

De Grandis reckons Kolo Muani has missed his chance to earn a permanent move Randal Kolo Muani made an immediate impact in his first three appearances as a Juventus player, creating the impression that he could be a transformative presence in the team. His performances during that initial period were impressive, scoring five goals in three matches and earning a starting spot ahead of Dusan Vlahovic. At the time, his consistent goal-scoring form made it difficult for the coaching staff to overlook him. However, after that early burst of success, Kolo Muani’s form dipped significantly. His goals dried up, and he struggled to replicate the performances that initially caught the attention of supporters and pundits. ............ His latest opportunity came in Juventus’ match against Bologna, where he was given the chance to prove his worth. Unfortunately for the Frenchman, he failed to deliver. His performance was underwhelming, and it did little to suggest he deserves a more prominent role in the squad. Juventus are now in a critical phase of the season and require all players to perform at their best. Kolo Muani, however, was unable to rise to the occasion. ............ . Stefano De Grandis offered a harsh but candid assessment of the forward’s contribution. He said, “I think this was the right match for him, because he has speed and Bologna leaves you one on one. But every time he moved the ball he never managed to beat the man: frankly I expected more. Overall the Kolo Muani operation is a failure: I think his experience in Turin is destined to end here.” ............ .

One player could benefit from Cambiaso’s absence in Juventus next match Andrea Cambiaso’s injury concerns appear set to continue, with fresh fitness issues emerging following Juventus’ recent match against Bologna. The defender, widely regarded as one of the most talented players at the Allianz Stadium, is considered a regular starter whenever he is available for selection. Since he arrived at the club, successive managers have consistently viewed him as one of the most reliable and skilled options in the squad. Interest from clubs such as Manchester City during the January transfer window further underlines his value. ............ His potential unavailability provides an opportunity for another player to step into the team for the clash against Lazio. This situation might benefit Douglas Luiz, who has found it difficult to make a meaningful impact at the club. The Brazilian has struggled for playing time and only featured in the second half during the match against Bologna. Cambiaso’s injury could compel Igor Tudor to deploy Weston McKennie on the left flank, thereby freeing up a spot in midfield that Luiz could occupy. ............ Cambiaso’s recurring fitness issues are particularly disappointing given the broader implications for the club. With the summer transfer window approaching, there had been speculation about a potential sale, and any consistent injury record could significantly affect his market value. ............ .

Stats reveal Juventus have been terrible travellers since the start of 2025 Juventus dropped two points during their visit to Bologna in their most recent fixture, continuing a worrying trend that has persisted since February. The Bianconeri have been working on becoming a more cohesive and effective unit under Igor Tudor, who was appointed as their latest manager. ............ Their recent draw against Bologna marked their third away match under Igor Tudor, and the Croatian has yet to lead the team to victory in any of these fixtures. Juventus’ last away win came against Cagliari on 23 February. Since then, the team have failed to register another victory on the road, and Tudor’s only defeat since taking charge has also occurred in an away match. This indicates that while there has been some level of stability at home, performances away continue to fall short of expectations. ............ With the end of the season approaching, Juventus remain determined to secure a place in the top four, which would guarantee qualification for the Champions League. Achieving this goal, however, will require a significant improvement in their away form. The current pattern of dropping points in matches played outside their home stadium poses a serious threat to their ambitions. ............ .

Antonio Conte’s future at Napoli could be decided this week as Juventus wait in the wings A report in the Italian media suggests that the fate of Antonio Conte could be revealed before the end of the week. ............ But despite the club’s prosperous campaign, Conte has been heavily linked with the exit door, especially due to his reportedly frosty rapport with Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis. The former Juventus captain and manager has been tipped to return to Turin and take over his former club for a second managerial stint. Several sources consider him the favourite to replace Igor Tudor who has been serving as caretaker (albeit he doesn’t like the word) coach following Thiago Motta’s sacking in March. The Bianconeri could receive some answers this week, as Conte and De Laurentiis have scheduled a meeting in the coming days. ............ The report expects the demanding manager to ask for comprehensive reinforcements and improve the squad’s overall quality and depth. After all, Napoli have only been playing once per week this season, but they’ll take part in the Champions League next season. ............ .

Dippi, Furios e Shaka sono tre componenti dello staff che hanno perso la via di casa. A proposito di Mamozio, ho segnalato un suo messaggio chiedendo di nominarlo Ospite Napoli ma inutilmente.

Juventus Have an Inglorious Record in Their Sights Juventus couldn’t hold on to their early lead in Bologna but got away with a point that kept them in fourth place, although on par with Roma and Lazio, which were successful during the week. The result prevented a direct opponent, and one of the most in-form teams in Serie A, from overtaking them. The Bianconeri have recorded 15 draws this campaign. They are just two shy of their all-time record. They rarely lost with Thiago Motta at the helm until things unraveled before his ousting. However, they shared the spoils a plethora of times. Historically, Juventus had more ties only in 1955/56, logging 17, and 1965/66, with 16. At this stage, they have matched the numbers put up by the Antonio Conte-led team in 2011/2012. The Old Lady won the title by staying undefeated that year, winning 23 games. ............ Juventus didn’t solve their away woes in Bologna and have another crunch game coming up on the road. They’ll take on Lazio next week. The Biancocelesti haven’t been particularly great in front of their fans, though. The Bianconeri will finish the season against Udinese and Venezia. ............ .

Giancarlo Marocchi argues Giuntoli only made one good signing Former Juventus star Giancarlo Marocchi blasts the club’s summer transfer campaign under Cristiano Giuntoli. The Bianconeri spent circa 180 million euros on new signings last summer, while another four players arrived in January. Nevertheless, most of the new arrivals have fallen wide off the mark, especially the club’s two most expensive additions, Teun Koopmeiners and Douglas Luiz. ............ Therefore, Marocchi hasn’t been impressed with Giuntoli’s work in Turin, only sparing Khephren Thuram’s transfer. “Juventus are in a very difficult situation. Now, Tudor is trying to keep them focused, but, given how they play, one would be tempted to change them all aside from Thuram, who is a certainty among the new signings,” argued the 59-year-old. “Obviously, it is not possible. There are other old players too, like Locatelli, who have proved to be positive and always present. The most difficult moment for Giuntoli will be when he has to decide who is confirmed and who must go.” ............ Marocchi certainly has a point, as several Juventus players have been underperforming this season. But in addition to Thuram, one could also mention Pierre Kalulu as another summer signing who managed to prove his worth overall, as well as Michele Di Gregorio, who has been solid on most occasions. .

Juventus deliver updates on Cambiaso’s injury – Expected recovery time revealed Juventus wingback Andrea Cambiaso suffered muscle elongation during Sunday’s 1-1 draw against Bologna. The 25-year-old was enjoying his best outing in months on his return to the Renato Dall’Ara after being impeded by recurring ankle problems since December. He produced the assist for Khephren Thuram’s opener and scored a goal himself that was ruled out for a marginal offside call. However, Cambiaso’s outing ended on a disappointing note, as he was hooked off in the middle of the second half after feeling some discomfort in his thigh. ............ The Italy international arrived at J|Medical Centre on Monday to undergo necessary clinical tests. The results have confirmed that the player has picked up a new injury, albeit a slight one. “Andrea Cambiaso, following the muscle discomfort felt during the Serie A match against Bologna, underwent diagnostic tests this Monday morning at J|Medical that showed an elongation of the rectus femoris of the left thigh,” revealed the note published on the official Juventus website. ............ Hence, Cambiaso will remain out of action for at least one week, which rules him out of the vital showdown against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico. The two sides are currently on par in points, alongside Roma, while Bologna are only one point behind the trio, in what is shaping up to be an epic race for the all-important fourth place. ............ .

Juventus stance on Tudor future revealed after 1-1 Bologna draw Monday’s reports suggest that Igor Tudor’s future with Juventus is still undecided following Sunday evening’s 1-1 draw with Bologna in Serie A, but much still depends on the team’s qualification for the Champions League. ............ The result means that there are now four teams, separated by one point in the table, fighting for one spot in the top four which will bring qualification to the 2025-26 Champions League. Juve, Roma and Lazio are all level on 63 points, with Bologna just behind on 62 with three games to go. ............ Tudor is unlikely to be in charge of Juventus next season if the team does not achieve Champions League qualification at the end of the 2024-25 campaign. However, finishing the 2024-25 season in the top four will not necessarily guarantee Tudor’s future with Juventus either, as the Bianconeri want firm guarantees from their next permanent head coach, which Tudor has not been able to prove in just six games. Either way, Tudor will still be in charge for the Club World Cup kicking off in mid-June, and it is unlikely that any official announcements regarding th next head coach before then. .

Cambiaso suffers new injury setback, but three Juventus stars pushing for return vs Lazio Juventus have been dealt a new blow as Andrea Cambiaso was forced to leave the pitch while carrying a knock. ............ Nevertheless, the 25-year-old was put on his best display in a while on Sunday evening as the Bianconeri took on Bologna in a vital showdown in the race for fourth place which ended in a 1-1 draw. Cambiaso produced the assist for Khephren Thuram’s opener and then scored a goal that was ruled out for a marginal offside. He also found success against his former teammate Riccardo Orsolini. ............ Cambiaso suffered a muscle issue in the quadriceps of his left leg. He will certainly undergo the necessary medical tests in the coming hours to shed more light on his condition. Igor Tudor will be hoping it is nothing serious, as he can ill-afford new injury blows, especially ahead of Saturday’s crucial contest against Lazio. But three Bianconeri players could make their returns to action against the Biancocelesti. The first is Dusan Vlahovic who has been out with a physical problem he picked up in Parma a couple of weeks ago. Teun Koopmeiners is also pushing for a return. The Dutch midfielder has been ruled out of action for the past few weeks due to an Achilles tendon injury. Finally, Federico Gatti, who has been on the sidelines for around a month, might also make a timely return to action. .

Bologna 1 - Juventus 1: Initial reaction and random observations Juventus knew the situation when they took the field for warmups Sunday night at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara. With Lazio and Roma both winning earlier in the day, they needed some sort of positive result to get back into fourth place after the two Roman sides’ wins resulting in the Bianconeri dropping down into sixth before kickoff. Juventus got one of the positive results that kept them in fourth place, but not the one that had them thinking was possible after Khephren Thuram struck in the ninth minute for his fourth league goal of the season to put his team in front. After that, though, Juventus had to defend — and defend a lot. And with a defense that is nowhere in the same galaxy as one that’s to be considered full strength, that lead looked wobbly for much of the next 45 minutes before Bologna tied things up through Remo Freuler’s deflected shot left Michele Di Gregorio stranded 10 minutes into the second half. It all ended up being a 1-1 draw that has my brain feeling a little bit like Juve are lucky to have gotten a point rather than dropping even more points from a winning position than they already have this season. The point in Bologna means that Juventus are still in fourth place — barely. There are now three clubs sitting on 63 points, with Juventus ahead of Roma and Lazio on goal differential. With Roma continuing to work their magic under Claudio Ranieri and Lazio hosting Juve next weekend, things are bound to get more and more chaotic with three matchdays to go. ............ That was always going to be a problem against a Bologna side that continue to show that they get better as a game goes on. It’s a big reason why they entered Sunday night’s matchup with Juventus having recovered a league-high 17 points from a losing position this season — something that they only added to against Igor Tudor’s side that tried like hell to hold onto their 1-0 lead despite all of the possession that the home side had. But as much as Juve tried to be strong at the back and become just the second team to beat Bologna at the Dall’Ara this season, the home side’s building momentum only gave you a sinking kind of feeling. Then it arrived in the 54th minute, and away went Juve’s lead because of it. ............ Goodness, these next three weeks are going to be much more stressful than they should have been. But this is the bed that Juventus have made for themselves. Now they have to lay in it and try and prevent the Europa League anthem from blaring at the Allianz Stadium next season. ............ RANDOM THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS Do you want to guess which Juventus player attempted the most passes against Bologna? Got your guess? Because here’s the answer: Michele Di Gregorio. Yup, that’s right — Juventus’ goalkeeper attempted the most passes Sunday night. ............ The Alberto Costa chance that went for naught had a higher xG (0.38) than Bologna had in the entire second half (0.30), so what do I even know about this sport sometimes. More fun with passing numbers: Pierre Kalulu completed the most passes of any player against Bologna. It was a grand total of ... 23. Only two Juventus players completed 20 passes or more: Kalulu (23) and Weston McKennie (20). That’s it. That’s the list. The unfortunate blocked shot attempt aside, Veiga put in another big-time effort at the back. He recorded 18 defensive actions, 15 clearances and had a couple of interceptions. That’s obviously partly a by-product of Juve’s ultra-defensive approach in the second half, but man he was all over the place in a game in which he needed to be. ............ This has to be a second half of the season to forget for a lot of players, but Cambiaso has to be up there at the very top. Between all of his ankle issues and now what looked to be some sort of muscle injury that forced him off with 20 minutes to go, it’s just another issue he’s had to deal with on top of everything. ............ Tudor had six outfield players off the bench at his disposal. He used five of them, with only the two backup goalkeepers and a certain Jonas Rouhi the only ones who didn’t play. Seven Bologna players had more touches than any Juventus player. That’s not good. With this draw, Juventus basically have to win out to get into the top four, right? Any more dropped points and you can probably kiss Champions League qualification goodbye. You just can’t afford to rely on others for help at this point. And it’s not like Juve are helping their own cause, either. It just makes you think of all those dropped points this season. Things could have been so much different if even a couple of these 15 draws in the league were turned into wins. But Juve are now feeling the effects of them now — and having to completely grit their teeth to secure a place in the top four because of it.

Tudor: ‘Juventus changed for Bologna, content with a point’ Igor Tudor admits he was forced to change his Juventus ideas to take on Bologna and in the circumstances is ‘content with a point’ that sends the fight for fourth down to the wire. The Bianconeri had the perfect start at the Stadio Dall’Ara when Khephren Thuram’s strike went through Lukasz Skorupski, but Remo Freuler equalised with help from a deflection off Renato Veiga to wrongfoot Michele Di Gregorio. ............ “We had prepared differently to most other matches, with a 3-5-2 formation moving into spaces and battling physically,” Tudor said. “We know this is a Bologna side was built over several years, they have a specific type of football, fuelled by enthusiasm especially on home turf that made me decide to prepare it this way. It’s a good point, I am happy with a solid result in a stadium where everyone struggled. “With so many problems, injuries, bans, we did well.” ............ Randal Kolo Muani surprised Bologna by dropping deeper to send Nico Gonzalez forward, with Weston McKennie in a more advanced role too. ............ “We know Bologna attack you man for man, they are a very physical side, so we opted for this approach. Clearly, one always wants to play his football and take the initiative, but with all these problems we had, sometimes you need to make changes.” ............ “The lads gave their all and when you work this hard to balance Bologna’s intensity, it takes something from your sharpness. We created opportunities, but we are content with the point, all things considered.” It means Juventus are still technically in fourth place, but level on points with Roma and Lazio now, while Bologna are one point behind them. ............ “There are three games left and we are still fourth, albeit level on points. We go to Lazio with confidence, then there’s Udinese and Venezia,” added Tudor. “I said before kick-off that whatever the result, nothing will be decided tonight. I am saying the same against Lazio, one game cannot decide everything when there are so many teams crammed together in a few points. ............ .

Juventus Player Ratings vs Bologna: Early Thuram Strike Only Worth One Point Bologna and Juventus shared the spoils in one of the most anticipated Serie A fixtures in the race for the Champions League. Khephren Thuram stunned the Renato Dall’Ara crowds by scoring an early opener, but Remo Freuler pulled off an equalizer in the second period. ............ Juventus (3-4-2-1) Michele Di Gregorio – 6 The Italian goalkeeper didn’t have too many saves to make. He thought he had Freuler’s shot covered, but it deflected off Veiga’s foot. Pierre Kalulu – 5.5 ............ Renato Veiga – 6 ............ Nicolò Savona – 6.5 An impressive performance from the young right-back who had to cover at the back due to an injury crisis. Pulled off several timely interceptions, especially against Riccardo Orsolini. Timothy Weah – 5.5 ............ Manuel Locatelli – 6 The Juventus captain kept things tidy in the middle of the park. He did well to protect the backline, but his presence wasn’t felt in the attacking phase. Khephren Thuram – 7 The French midfielder was lucky to beat Lukasz Skorupski with a tepid shot, but he arguably deserves a goal based on his dynamic display. Andrea Cambiaso – 7 After weeks of underwhelming performances, the Juventus wingback produced a stellar display. Delivered the assist for Thuram, scored a goal that was disallowed for a marginal offiside, and had the better of Orsolini in their enticing duel. But unfortunately for the Italian, he left the pitch after picking up yet another knock. Nicolas Gonzalez – 6 ............ Weston McKennie – 6 ............

Juventus and Bologna share the spoils in tough Serie A game Juventus were held to a 1-1 draw by Bologna in a match between two clubs competing for fourth place in the league table. In a fixture against direct rivals, it is essential to make a strong start, and Juventus did just that by opening the scoring after nine minutes through Khephren Thuram. ............ After Juve took the lead, the home side began to demonstrate their quality both in and out of possession. The men in black and white struggled to retain the ball for long periods as Bologna dominated possession and appeared intent on capitalising. However, Juve posed the greater threat and had another goal ruled out for offside just before the break. The Bianconeri started the second half with intent to score the next goal of the game and believed they had done so through Andrea Cambiaso, but it was disallowed for offside. This incident spurred Bologna into action, and they equalised shortly afterwards through Remo Freuler. ............ Neither side managed to find a winner, and the points were shared in this crucial fixture for the final Champions League qualification spot. .

Best Juventus player: Thuram 7 – The Frenchman scored the opening goal at the Dall’Ara and was much more than a mere central midfielder for the Bianconeri. Fourth Serie A goal this season. He touched the ball everywhere on the pitch, from Juventus’ defensive box to their attacking half. ............ Lowest Juventus rating: Kolo Muani 5 – Wasn’t really a threat to Bologna’s defence. Fought hard to find space all over the pitch, but wasn’t present enough inside the box and lost possession 18 times. Alberto Costa deserves the same rating, having missed a big chance, all alone against Skorupski, in the second half. Juventus coach: Tudor 6—With Gatti, Bremer, Cabal, Kelly, and Gatti injured, Tudor had few options in defence and don’t forget Yildiz and Vlahovic in attack. Cambiaso was also forced to be substituted in the second half. The Bianconeri played pretty well in the first half, and their second goal was disallowed for a tight offside after the break. Juventus allowed Bologna to take possession (65% to 35%), but had more expected goals (0.45 to 0.70). They also showed their determination and grit with 19 fouls against Bologna’s six. .

Serie A | Bologna 1-1 Juventus: Exciting draw creates crazy fight for fourth Remo Freuler replied to the Khephren Thuram opener, as Bologna and Juventus share the spoils to make the fight for fourth place even harder, with four teams in a one-point radius. This was a head-to-head for fourth, as the Bianconeri leapfrogged their rivals last weekend. ............ Juventus broke the deadlock early on when Andrea Cambiaso was allowed to cut inside from the right and spread it to Khephren Thuram, his strike from just outside the area squirming underneath Lukasz Skorupski for a goalkeeping howler. ............ Riccardo Orsolini tried to curl in directly from the corner flag, forcing a difficult Michele Di Gregorio fingertip save, but Weston McKennie ran a huge risk when bundling into the back of Remo Freuler inside the penalty area, the referee waving play on. Bologna were also enraged when Savona handled outside the area, but as his arm was behind him, the referee assumed it was involuntary. As the hosts were pouring forward, Juve had the ball in the net with Nico Gonzalez, but he was offside on the Kolo Muani flick from the long Di Gregorio ball. ............ Cambiaso had the ball in the net on 50 minutes, but again the offside flag had gone up for the strike on the turn, even though VAR showed it was a matter of inches. Instead, Bologna got their equaliser as Cambiaghi stood up a cross from the left by-line, nodded down by Dallinga for Freuler, whose finish from 10 yards took a deflection off Renato Veiga on the way through. It was the veteran midfielder’s first goal of the season. ............ Cambiaghi’s volley was charged down from the edge of the box, but Juve had another big chance when Kolo Muani went over far too easily against Charalampos Lykogiannis, then McKennie found Alberto Costa, who slipped at the crucial moment when he was ready to sweep home from eight yards. Bologna threatened in stoppages when a corner found Cambiaghi for the shot charged down, then Lewis Ferguson fired the rebound over from a tricky angle.
