Two frontrunners emerge for Juventus job as Tudor sacked

 

 

 

Multiple sources claim that Luciano Spalletti and Raffaele Palladino are the leading candidates to replace Igor Tudor, who was sacked by Juventus this morning. ............

 

Spalletti was sacked by the Italy national team in June, while Palladino left Fiorentina by mutual consent at the end of the 2024-25 campaign. ............

 

Juventus confirmed Tudor’s sacking with an official statement on Monday morning after the team had lost three consecutive matches and failed to score in the last four. ............

 

Juventus also confirmed that Massimiliano Brambilla, the NextGen coach, will lead the team in the next two days and be in charge when the Old Lady host Udinese in the next Serie A game on Wednesday. ............

 Juventus identify Spalletti as the favourite to replace Tudor

 

 

 

Luciano Spalletti has emerged as the early frontrunner for the vacant Juventus job following Igor Tudor’s sacking on Monday. ............

 

The club has temporarily appointed Juventus Next Gen manager, Massimo Brambilla, as caretaker, but his time with the first team is only expected to last a few days, before a permament manager arrives in Turin. But who will it be? ............

 

At this stage, we can confirm that Juve’s first option remains Luciano Spalletti. The vastly experienced coach is all too familiar with managing top Serie A clubs; He has two separate tenures at Roma, one at Inter, and famously led Napoli to their first Scudetto title in 33 years back in 2023. ............

 

Spalletti was made redundant in June following a forgettable experience with the Italian national team, but Juventus consider him the ideal solution for the role, as he would implement a 4-2-3-1 formation that would suit the current squad.

 

Raffaele Palladino represents the second option, as he could be less costly than Spalletti. Moreover, the former Monza and Fiorentina has been offered to the Turin-based giants, and is willing to accept a contract until the end of the season with an option for an extension. ............

Luciano Spalletti open to Juventus job as contract talks begin

 

 

 

Former Italy boss Luciano Spalletti has given Juventus the initial ‘yes’, as the two parties begin negotiating an agreement.

 

The Serie A giants have announced the sacking of Igor Tudor on Monday morning, and the appointment of Juventus Next Gen manager Massimo Brambilla as caretaker coach. ............

 

In an exclusive for Juve FC, highly esteemed Italian journalist Alfredo Pedullà revealed that Spalletti is the club’s preferred candidate for the role, while Raffaele Palladino and Roberto Mancini are the fallback options.

 

Pedullà has now followed up on this news, revealing that Juventus and Spalletti are already in direct contact. ............

 

The source reveals that the 66-year-old has already confirmed his availability for the role, so it remains to be seen if the two parties will manage to find a full accord.

 

The former Roma, Inter and Napoli boss has reportedly asked for a contract until June 2027, but he’s also willing to consider a short-term deal until the end of the season.

 

Juventus are obviously inclined towards the latter solution, as they still have Thiago Motta and Tudor on their payroll. ............

 

In the meantime, Brambilla is overseeing the club’s preparations for Wednesday’s home contest against Udinese.

 

At this stage, it remains unclear if the Italian manager will remain in charge for the weekend trip to Cremona, as it hinges on the outcome of the club’s managerial search. ............

How Juventus could line up under former Italy CT Spalletti

 

 

 

The latest updates suggest that Luciano Spalletti is the current frontrunner to become the new head coach of Juventus following the sacking of Igor Tudor, but how would the former Italy CT line up with the Bianconeri, and which tactics would he look to deploy? ............

 

Several coaches have already been linked with a move to the Allianz Stadium, including Raffaele Palladino and Roberto Mancini, but Spalletti is considered the current frontrunner, and has already been in direct talks with the club. ............

 

Spalletti has deployed a number of different formations across his recent spells in charge of the Italy national team, Napoli and Inter.

 

Most recently, Spalletti played with a 3-5-1-1 during his final matches in charge of the Italy national team, given that he had plenty of midfielders. ............

 

With Napoli, a 4-3-3 built around centre-forward Victor Osimhen and left winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was the norm during Spalletti’s Scudetto-winning season in 2022-23.

 

With Inter, a 4-2-3-1 was Spalletti’s usual go-to, and, given the options currently available at Juventus, it would make sense if he deployed that same system in Turin. ............

 

Given that the current Juventus squad is not blessed with an abundance of central midfield options, it would make sense to see Manuel Locatelli and Khephren Thuram keep their places in a double-pivot.

 

There would then be several options to deploy in the no.10 role, including posterboy Kenan Yildiz, summer signing Jonathan David and the out-of-favour Teun Koopmeiners, all of whom offer different qualities. ............

 

(4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio; Joao Mario, Kalulu, Bremer, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Thuram; Conceicao, David, Yildiz; Vlahvoic.

Juventus, Buffon expresses support for Spalletti : ‘You won’t lose many with him’

 

 

 

Juventus and Italy legend Gianluigi Buffon has expressed his support for his former colleague Luciano Spalletti, who is the current frontrunner to replace Igor Tudor as head coach of the Bianconeri. ............

 

Several names have already been linked with a move to take over at the Allianz Stadium, including Roberto Mancini and Raffaele Palladino, but Spalletti is the current frontrunner, and is already in direct contact with the club. ............

 

“For me, Luciano is the right profile for any big club who wants to remain ambitious. You won’t lose many with Luciano,” Buffon said.

 

Buffon and Spalletti have worked together previously as part of the Italy national team set-up. Spalletti was CT from the end of the summer in 2023 until the start of the summer in 2025, while Buffon served as delegation chief, a role that he still holds today. ............

 

“It would be a great professional choice,” Buffon said of Juventus’s links with Spalletti. “He’s a football man, he’s a great person and a great coach.

 

“Spalletti is the best around in terms of experience, charisma and authority. He’s the right person for ambitious clubs who want to remain ambitious. It’s a shame seeing him not in the dugout.”

Spalletti inclined to accept Juventus terms ahead of crucial face-to-face talks

 

 

 

Sky Sport Italia suggests that Juventus could meet face-to-face with Luciano Spalletti to discuss a potential appointment as Bianconeri head coach on Tuesday, and that the Old Lady are planning to offer a short-term contract with an option to renew. ............

 

The Croatian had gone eight matches without a win in any competition and his team had not scored in any of their last four matches. He becomes the first Serie A head coach to lose their job in 2025-26, lasting for just eight league matches. ............

 

Juventus could hold face-to-face talks with Spalletti as early as Tuesday. As Football Italia reported on Monday, the former Napoli and Italy head coach is the current frontrunner to replace Tudor.

 

According to the latest updates, Juventus are prepared to offer Spalletti a contract until the end of the 2025-26 season with an obligation to renew if the Old Lady qualify for next season’s Champions League. ............

 

It remains to be seen whether that automatic contract extension will be for another 12 months, or for another two years. Monday evening’s report indicates that Spalletti is already inclined to accept either way. ............

Juventus set for key meeting with Luciano Spalletti on Tuesday

 

 

 

Juventus are moving aggressively in their search for a new manager following the sacking of Igor Tudor, with Luciano Spalletti firmly established as their primary target. ............

 

The Bianconeri hierarchy has already held intensive talks with the former Italy and Napoli coach over the last few hours. The discussions are moving toward a crucial stage, with a key meeting scheduled for tomorrow (Tuesday). ............

 

The appointment needs to be secured rapidly as caretaker manager Massimo Brambilla is unlikely to lead the team for the midweek fixture against Udinese.

 

Spalletti has opened up to the possibility of managing Juve, who have offered a contract until June 2026 with an automatic renewal if the club reaches the Champions League. ............

Juventus director Damien Comolli is set to meet with ex-Italy coach Luciano Spalletti today to offer him a contract as a replacement for Igor Tudor. ............

 

The Bianconeri have gone eight consecutive games without victories and have not scored a goal in the last four matches.

 

Spalletti, a Napoli Scudetto winner in 2022-23, has been without a team since June, when he was sacked by the Italian federation. ............

 

Spalletti will be offered a contract until the end of the season, with an option to extend in case of Champions League qualification.

 

Spalletti has rejected offers from Saudi and Turkish clubs and is eager to accept the Juventus job. ............

Spalletti opens up about Juventus job: ‘Whoever replaces Tudor will be lucky’

 

 

 

Luciano Spalletti opens up about rumours linking him with the Juventus job, saying that ‘whoever will replace Igor Tudor will be lucky.’

 

Spalletti is the leading candidate for the Juventus job, as multiple sources in Italy claim that he and Bianconeri director Damien Comolli will sit down today to discuss contract details with him today. ............

 

“I feel well, I wait with serenity. I have the ambition to set things right,” the ex-Italy coach said.

 

“I can only speak highly of Tudor, a serious and passionate person. Whoever will replace him will be lucky because he’ll find a well-trained team.” ............

Capello: ‘Tudor pays for everyone’ but Spalletti ideal for Juventus

 

 

 

Fabio Capello refuses to solely blame Igor Tudor for Juventus’ poor results as he feels the Croatian tactician has paid ‘for everyone’ and believes Luciano Spalletti is an ideal candidate for the job at the Allianz Stadium. ............

 

“Tudor pays for everyone. At Juventus, eight matches without a win and three consecutive defeats are too many, but the responsibility doesn’t lie solely with the coach,” Capello said.

 

“The original sin was the half-hearted trust the club placed in Tudor. Last summer, the directors looked at other coaches too, and only late did they confirm Igor by renewing his contract. Players can sense these things and look for excuses in such situations. But the real question is: Did Tudor build his team, or did somebody else?

 

“I’m not entirely sure who’s really in charge at the club,” Capello continued.

 

“Certainly, someone with Giorgio Chiellini’s experience and stature would be useful alongside the team, just like Paolo Maldini was for Pioli’s title-winning Milan. Chiellini, however, seems to be busy with political and institutional matters.” ............

 

“I’ve always liked Tudor’s communication style,” he said.

 

“When he spoke about the lack of top players, he was right. That’s the problem for Italian football in general, not just for Juventus.

 

“It’s not like it used to be. Nowadays, top players rarely choose Serie A. As a result, the clubs are forced to rely on reinforcements who can help, but not all of them can handle the pressure that comes with playing for the biggest teams.” ............

 

“Luciano is a coach of great quality and experience; he’s already managed top clubs and won. After the disappointment with Italy, he’ll have a desire for redemption inside him that could be an added value in a situation like this,” noted Capello.

 

“What could be better than restarting from a historic and prestigious club like Juventus? Spalletti has the right charisma to lift the Bianconeri back up. Paradoxically, the most positive aspect is the standings. Despite a poor start, Juventus are only six points behind leaders Napoli and Roma. ............

 

Capello, however, warned that: “if you don’t have superstars like Messi or Yamal, players who can score on their own, you need to get the ball into the box for your forwards.

 

“Even a phenomenon like Haaland needs to be supplied. Beyond Spalletti’s ability, you need midfielders and quality players to deliver those balls so that Vlahovic, David and Openda can score.” ............

Spalletti nears Juventus agreement, possible announcement on Thursday

 

 

 

Juventus are moving closer towards the appointment of Luciano Spalletti as head coach, with reports from Italy claiming an official announcement and presentation could be made as early as Thursday. ............

 

It will be Spalletti’s first club job since 2023, when he left Napoli after two years in charge.

 

For the following two years, the Italian would lead the Azzurri, taking over the Italian national team after the surprise resignation of Roberto Mancini. ............

 

In June, following a 3-0 loss to Norway, Spalletti was sacked by the Azzurri and led his final match in charge against Moldova.

Totti: Spalletti would be a ‘great acquisition’ for Juventus

 

 

 

Francesco Totti believes Luciano Spalletti would be a ‘great acquisition’ for Juventus as the Italian tactician prepares to meet with the Bianconeri. ............

 

Spalletti is due to meet with Juventus’ director Damien Comolli later today, but on Tuesday morning, he reunited with his ex-Roma star Totti.

 

Spalletti and Totti teamed up for the new commercial of Amaro Montenegro in Italy, and the company unveiled their latest advertisement at an event in Milan. ............

 

Talking about rumours linking Spalletti with the Juventus job, Totti said: “From what is being rumoured, he’s one of the candidates, and I think Juventus would make a great acquisition if they were to hire him. Whenever he’s gone, he’s always done well.”

 

Spalletti also spoke during the event, praising ex-Juventus coach Tudor and saying that whoever will replace him “will be lucky.”

Spalletti agreement that was essential for Juventus job

 

 

 

Luciano Spalletti is ready to put pen to paper at Juventus, but the decisive element was his acceptance of a contract to June with automatic renewal for Champions League qualification.

 

As we had explained already, Spalletti was always the first choice for the job after the club decided to pull the plug on Igor Tudor not even three months into the season. ............

 

The former Italy boss was always the main focus and only an extraordinary change of strategy would see them drift away from that candidacy.

 

Today was delicate and the meeting with Spalletti laid the groundwork for the agreement, confirming it was never really a two-horse race. ............

 

Spalletti immediately accepted the proposal of a contract until June, with option for automatic renewal for another season in case of Champions League qualification. ............

Spalletti makes a specific request before accepting the Juventus job

 

 

 

Luciano Spalletti is now the overwhelming favourite to become the next Juventus manager following the recent dismissal of Igor Tudor. The experienced Italian coach, who previously managed the national team, appears set to take charge of the Bianconeri as they look to rebuild after a difficult run of form.

 

Juventus hope that Spalletti’s appointment will restore stability and inspire improved performances from a squad that has struggled for consistency. ............

 

Spalletti has made it clear that he will not accept the position on a short-term basis. Rather than serving as a caretaker manager until the end of the season, he has requested a 30-month contract to allow sufficient time to reshape the team both tactically and mentally. He believes the current Juventus side requires a significant rebuild and that meaningful progress cannot be achieved without long-term commitment and support from the club’s hierarchy.

 

Spalletti’s demand reflects both his confidence in his methods and his desire for stability after a turbulent period with the national team. He understands that returning Juventus to the summit of Italian football will require patience, focus, and the full backing of the board. At this stage, Juventus appear ready to agree to his terms, viewing him as the most capable and experienced coach available. ............

 

Should the appointment be finalised, Spalletti’s immediate challenge will be to instil his tactical principles and philosophy into a group that has lost its identity in recent seasons. His emphasis on possession, movement, and structure is expected to bring discipline and direction back to the side. ............

Chiellini: ‘Spalletti a modern coach, tough Juventus decision to sack Tudor’

 

 

 

Juventus advisor Giorgio Chiellini confirms Luciano Spalletti is ‘a great coach with experience and a modern style of football’ after the ‘tough decision’ to sack Igor Tudor. ............

 

“I think that Tudor should be thanked for having done important work, as last season he took us into the Champions League,” Chiellini said.

 

“This was a decision shared within the club. We think that the team can do well.” ............

 

“I think Spalletti is a great coach, with experience and a modern style of football. We have to wait, because there is no signature yet, so let us focus on trying to pick up points today,” replied Chiellini.

 

“I also wish to thank Brambilla, who is allowing us to go into this game with focus and look to the future.

 

“It was a tough decision, because it is not in the DNA of Juventus to make a change so early, and there is disappointment considering how much the coach cares about this club.” added Chiellini. ............

 

Juventus are making changes behind the scenes too, because they are expected to appoint a new director of sport soon.

 

“There will be a new director of sport in the next few weeks, because we are lacking that figure,” confirmed Chiellini.

Di Canio predicts Spalletti’s system at Juventus, Bergomi expects ‘stroke of genius’

 

 

 

Paolo Di Canio believes Luciano Spalletti will use a 4-3-3 system at Juventus, while Beppe Bergomi expects a ‘stroke of genius’ from the ex-Italy coach.

 

Spalletti is set to be appointed as the new Juventus coach after Igor Tudor was sacked on Monday. ............

 

Marchegiani said: “Surely, improve the efficiency of the attack. I believe what Spalletti will do is to give Juve a clear identity.

 

“He’s always done it, and I think Spalletti has been chosen for this, too. That’s what I expect, but also to give value to some players.” ............

 

Di Canio, an ex-Juventus star, seemed to agree, but added: “Through what? A well-defined style of play: a 4-3-3. Up front, you have Yildiz and Openda [on the left], Conceiçao and Zegrova [on the right], Vlahovic and David [as centre-forwards]. In midfield, there are Locatelli, Koopmeiners, Thuram, McKennie, and Miretti. They have full-backs who can be attacking or defensive. They have many centre-backs. ............

 

“In this situation, Yildiz seems even less evolved than the others because he tries to do something more and goes into confusion. You can’t waste that talent; you must give certainty, and you do so with a 4-3-3,” added the ex-striker.

 

“I expect a stroke of genius,” concluded Inter legend Bergomi.

 

“In the past, he made Brozovic drop deep and played Perrotta higher up the pitch. I am convinced this team can play better than this.” ............

Three things Spalletti must fix at Juventus

 

 

 

Juventus are three points below a Champions League spot, but Luciano Spalletti won’t only have to improve results, but also fix some long-term issues in the team.

 

Spalletti arrived at Continassa on Thursday morning, hours after a 3-1 win over Udinese, to sign his contract with Juventus. ............

 

Attacking threat

 

One of Juventus’ main issues under Tudor was to simply create goal-scoring opportunities. Before the Croat’s sacking, the Old Lady had gone four consecutive matches without scoring, equalling an unwanted record from 1991. Juventus are fourth in Serie A for ball recoveries high up the pitch, but are only 18^th for chances created from such situations. This means Juventus were pretty good in their high press under Tudor, but then didn’t really know what to do with the ball in the final third. Tudor often rotated Juventus’ starting centre-forward during his tenure and perhaps a clearer hierarchy will help the Old Lady make sharper moves in the final third. ............

Lack of leadership

Is this something a coach alone can solve? Not necessarily, but Spalletti has proved to be good at developing players technically and mentally. Tudor insisted that Juventus had many leaders. In his final pre-match press conference, he mentioned Manuel Locatelli, Khephren Thuram, Mattia Perin, Jonathan David and Dusan Vlahovic as the current and future standout personalities in the dressing room. The pitch, however, has shown that Juventus lack players who can take responsibility in critical moments, and Spalletti will necessarily have to work on the mental side of things, not just technique and tactics, to build a team that can match the ambition and the tradition of a prestigious club like Juventus. ............

Work in sync with the club

This was one of the reasons that led to Tudor’s departure and something that Spalletti must work on alongside club directors, especially Damien Comolli. Naturally, the Bianconeri will have to make some acquisitions in the January transfer window to fill the gaps in the team and start bringing players suitable to Spalletti’s playing style. Juventus are still waiting to appoint a new sporting director, but whoever he is, he’ll have to base transfer decisions on Spalletti’s needs and demands. ............

Former Juventus assistant coach will join Spalletti’s technical staff

 

 

 

New Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti has reportedly chosen Giovanni Martusciello as part of his technical staff.

 

The former Roma, Inter, Napoli boss has been identified as the ideal profile to resurrect the free-falling Bianconeri. ............

 

Naturally, Spalletti has decided to bring a group of trusted collaborators alongside him, and chief among them is his longtime assistant, Marco Domenichini, who has been by his side since the very start of his coaching career almost three decades ago.

 

But according to multiple reports in the Italian press, Spalletti’s staff will also include a familiar name in Martusciello. ............

 

The 54-year-old has long been associated with Maurizio Sarri, having served as the latter’s assistant coach for several years, including their time together at Juventus in 2019/20, the season that witnessed the club’s most recent Scudetto triumph. ............

 

Martusciello isn’t only familiar with the atmosphere at Juventus, but he has also worked with Spalletti in the past, precisely during the latter’s spell at Inter between 2017 and 2019, when he was part of the technical staff.

 

Moreover, the former midfielder was also coached by the former Italy boss during his playing stint at Empoli in the nineties, so the two men have a long-standing rapport. ............

Official: Spalletti confirmed as new Juventus manager

 

 

Juventus has officially announced the appointment of Luciano Spalletti as their new manager on a short-term contract, replacing Igor Tudor. The Bianconeri have been assessing their managerial options, and the decision to bring in Spalletti marks a significant turning point for the club as they aim to restore stability and ambition to their season.

 

The Italian coach has a reputation for tactical intelligence and for building cohesive teams, traits that Juventus will hope can reignite their push for success. ............

 

Spalletti’s contract will run until the end of the current campaign, with an automatic extension clause that will activate if Juventus secure qualification for the Champions League. This structure provides both flexibility for the club and an incentive for the coach to deliver immediate results.

 

Spalletti’s experience makes him an ideal choice for Juventus at this stage. Having guided Napoli to the Serie A title in 2023, he proved his ability to manage top-level pressure while producing entertaining football. His appointment reflects Juventus’s desire to combine discipline with attacking intent, qualities that have been inconsistent in recent months. ............

 

This is Juventus’s third managerial change in 2025 alone, a statistic that underscores the turbulence the team has faced. Spalletti will therefore need to establish authority swiftly and ensure his methods resonate with the players. The squad still contains quality and depth, and under his guidance, there is optimism that performances will improve. ............

Spalletti sets new Juventus records just by taking the job

 

 

Luciano Spalletti will make his debut on the Juventus bench against Cremonese this weekend, but his appointment has already set several records.

 

The former Roma, Napoli and Italy boss put pen to paper today on a deal until June 30, 2026, with an option to extend if they qualify for the Champions League. ............

 

Just his appointment has already written a new page in the history books, as Spalletti becomes the oldest coach ever to take on the Juventus job.

 

Aged 66, he shatters the previous record set by Maurizio Sarri when accepting the role in June 2019 at the age of 60.

 

It is not the first time these two have passed on the record baton, because Spalletti beat Sarri’s record as the oldest coach ever to win the Scudetto, doing it at age 64 at Napoli after Sarri’s victory at Juve when 61. ............

Every word Spalletti said on Juventus contract, system, Vlahovic and Scudetto

 

 

Luciano Spalletti explained why he agreed to sign an eight-month contract at Juventus and admitted he hopes to fight for the Scudetto this season. ............

 

“It’s an amazing feeling because we all know the club’s history and organisation. We know expectations are high. We know many things, but getting inside and learn it practically is always a great emotion.”

 

NEW CHALLENGE – “The desire to bring this club to the highest levels prevails. I have great respect for this table and Tudor’s work, whom I greet warmly. I’ve had the chance to know him, and I’m certain he’s a fantastic person and a true professional. I’m sure I’ll find a team in good mental condition and well-trained because of the professionalism of my predecessor, and naturally, we must work strongly to have the chance to match the expectations. I’m happy to be here, I thank director Comolli for the nice words he said about me.”

 

TEAM’S VALUE – “The idea is embodied in the reason why I accepted to come here. If I had not believed that this team has potential, despite difficult moments, why should I have accepted an eight-month contract? I believe I can do a nice job with them. It all passes from there. Desire, self-discipline to get important results, and I see the chance to fix some things. I don’t know the level, but clearly the aim is high for a club like Juventus, who want to get into the Champions League. We need to do a good job and get up to speed because the others run fast.”

 

STAFF – “I’ve brought four staff members, three are technical, and a fitness coach. We all know each other in the world of football; we just need to take confidence. They are Domenichini, Martusciello, Russo and Sinatti. I wanted to say a couple of words about Daniele Baldini, who decided to end his story as a collaborator. It was his decision, and I was a bit surprised when he told me. I want to thank him for all he made available to me and everything he taught me. He has all the qualities, I’m sorry, but I have to accept his desire.” ............

 

PLAYERS – “Dusan’s analysis was correct. The players realise what they are taking and what they are giving back to a club that believes in them. As for what I told Perin, it’s just a joke. We all know that coaches depend on the footballers. Coaches can be good, but the players’ quality makes the difference. It was a way to involve them and make them realise that things done on the pitch will determine my future. Luckily, for my career and what football has given me, I don’t need guarantees on my future. I think it’s quite fair to make assessments. I’m not forced to stay in a certain situation because of a contract. ............

 

SCUDETTO AND VLAHOVIC – “I hope I can get back and be involved in the race for the Scudetto. It’s what we were discussing with the players yesterday. We must aim for the top, and in this case, the top is the title race. Nine games have been played, still 29 to go. Many games. I’ve seen any sort of thing in my over 30-year career. I don’t see why I should settle. I have absolute respect for the quality of these players.

 

“With Vlahovic, it’s easy. I have to talk to him. I haven’t received any restrictions from the club regarding any player. I’ll see what he will do and his responses. Based on the last game against Udinese, he has clear intentions, and that behaviour fixes everything because he played an excellent game.”

 

SYSTEM – “Today I have the first training session. As I said before, I respect the work that has been done before, so perhaps we might give continuity to what has been done. At the same time, giving all the info to our opponents is not correct, but I have to answer.

“Clearly, there are some players who would prefer playing in different roles. In both cases, we must make sure there’s availability from the players. At the same time, it means we’ll also try to do something different with a four-man defence, rather than a three-man defence.”

 

CREMONESE – “I’ve watched many Serie A games this season, and I didn’t see many teams dominating. I watched the last games of Inter and Napoli, who I consider among the best-equipped. They also lost some games. We are not in a condition to be arrogant about anything. So we must have absolute respect for everyone. I don’t like mottos; the message must always come from the ball on the turf, that’s the right way to talk.” ............

 

NAPOLI – “I left something in every city I lived in. In Naples, something superior came out for the beauty of football and what we accomplished, a fantastic and important Scudetto. I’ve established a special connection with those people. It won’t change on my side. Today I did blood tests and he did it on the other arm because here

I have the tattoo and I didn’t want anything to be touched there. Nothing will change for me. I will always have many friends in Naples. They’ve also texted me. I will return to Naples, it’s a city that will forever be in my heart, regardless of my professional decisions. ............

 

JUVENTUS DNA – “When you go on the pitch, it is fundamental to win games. However, given that football is also a show, one tries to make a good product, a product of quality for those watching. You [journalists] are also looking for new words. New words don’t tire the mind. On the contrary, doing the same things flattens people’s creativity. So we are looking for something beautiful to see. I’ve always perceived this atmosphere and quality in this stadium. But first of all, we must win on the pitch and then talk about something else.” ............

 

IMPACT – “I don’t know what impact I can have. I know my attitude, from the morning I wake up until I go to sleep at night. I know that, towards my behaviour, the players can enter a mindset that can give them something. I’ve been doing this job for over 30 years, and I’ve been lucky because I’ve won many games. I trust that history, I trust my behaviour. I’m aware that those making the difference are always the footballers, no doubt about it. At the same time, however, having complicity and availability in doing things and trusting our abilities can be something that will bring us to having results. I don’t know how big, but this pathway we have in front can make us change things. On the pitch, you have to understand certain things; football has evolved continuously, and you must understand the moments on the field, how to behave and be in sync. This makes the difference to be a team with superior quality and not just the addition of single footballers. If we all give our best and are available, that growth can be enough to be worthy of Juventus. That’s what we’ll work on.”
