Juventus CEO Giovanni Carnevali is reported to have thrown his full weight behind Luciano Spalletti, ruling out any immediate managerial change before the club’s upcoming fixtures. The reported backing comes as questions mount over Spalletti’s position following a chaotic finish to the Sassuolo match.
Juventus had scored and looked set for a positive result, only to concede twice in stoppage time and collapse entirely. The anger in the stands was unmistakable, with chants calling for Antonio Conte‘s return.
Carnevali addressed the situation directly during an appearance on Radio Anch’io Lo Sport, according to the primary evidence. He reportedly said that changing coaches frequently is not in his nature and that he is not considering it at all, insisting the club must plan and build rather than react to a single result.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Spalletti and the new management structure built this Juventus squad together, targeting a credible 4-2-3-1 with two reliable options in every position. The club chose to invest in depth and internal competition rather than sell, banking on a settled system across a long season.
That plan has been disrupted early. Serious injuries have torn through the squad, forcing Spalletti to improvise before his intended structure could take shape on the pitch, and the consistency the club envisioned simply hasn’t materialised yet.
The situation is not yet a full-blown crisis, with the season still young and the table malleable. But Serie A offers no leeway, and Juventus need new technical leaders and a clearer internal hierarchy while key absentees recover, with the Europa League opener against NEC and the broader top-four race looming as early tests.
Conte’s history with the club and his reputation as a fixer keep his name hovering over every discussion, even though nothing in the current reporting points to an imminent approach. For now, the message from the top is patience, not panic.
