Spalletti's training methods are causing unrest at Juventus

According to La Stampa, a group of players in the Juventus dressing room is unhappy with head coach Luciano Spalletti's working methods. The players feel that Spalletti talks too much during training, and that this leads to long pauses between drills and lowers the tempo.

The team went into a two-day training camp before the match against Napoli. Spalletti is under serious pressure, as his side has collected only 14 points from nine Serie A matches and has lost two of its last three games. After the 2-0 defeat to Genoa, club CEO Giovanni Carnevali gave a tough speech in the dressing room and asked the players to take responsibility for the poor results.

The club has not yet held any formal talks with potential replacements for Spalletti. Even so, the names of Stefano Pioli, Paulo Sousa and Antonio Conte are being mentioned for the head coaching job at the Allianz Stadium. Spalletti was appointed exactly one year ago, and his contract runs until June 2028.
