Spalletti faces mounting issues at Juventus over attack and squad depth
Juventus sit sixth in Serie A with 11 points after six matches, five points behind joint leaders Inter and Lazio. Luciano Spalletti's start has matched Igor Tudor's previous opening in goals scored and conceded, increasing scrutiny on the coach. The report highlights a struggling attack, with Randal Kolo Muani scoring once and Nick Woltemade still without a goal.
Juventus have collected 11 points from six Serie A games, leaving them sixth and five behind Inter and Lazio. Spalletti's opening has echoed Tudor's dismissed start: Tudor had one more point, but both sides scored and conceded nine and five respectively.
The club extended Spalletti's deal to June 2028 in April, yet results could alter that plan. Kolo Muani, signed for €41m, has one goal in six, while Woltemade, borrowed from Newcastle, has none in four. Injuries to Yildiz, Locatelli, Thuram, Ekhator and Boga have further limited options.
If Juventus' struggles persist, supporters could experience growing frustration, while players and staff may face intensified scrutiny and instability. A coaching change or missed targets might affect club morale, sponsor interest, and matchday revenue in Turin. Rival fans may relish the uncertainty, but the wider Serie A could benefit from a more competitive title race. The impact remains speculative and depends on results.
