After an incomplete ninth round of Serie A, Juventus sit eighth. That is not good enough and is unacceptable for the fans of such a giant club. Wednesday's 2–0 defeat to Genoa has seriously shaken Luciano Spalletti's position as manager, with the club's hierarchy having been unimpressed with his work since the start of the season.There is an interesting twist in Spalletti's career: on Friday, it will be exactly one year since he joined Juventus. He was welcomed as a saviour, did a good job and was rewarded with a new contract over the summer, running until the summer of 2028. And yet, just a few months later, he is on the brink of being sacked. If he loses at home to Napoli this weekend, the Juventus manager could easily find himself out of a job.Who is worse: Spalletti, Allegri or Sarri?According to the Italian media, Juventus' results under Spalletti have been disappointing. In terms of points per game, he has managed fewer than Thiago Motta (1.78 compared to 1.79), and only slightly more than Igor Tudor (1.76). The previous two managers did not last long on the Turin club's bench, so there is little reason for the support and trust in Spalletti to continue indefinitely. An additional problem is that Juventus' manager himself admits that he does not know what to do next. Nor does he understand what is happening with his team. November is just around the corner, and he still has no answers to certain questions.Juve boss and defender clash: "I can't carry everyone in my arms!" vs "You were involved, too!"This is evident from the fact that he regularly changes the formation, playing with one striker and then two, while also changing the defensive line, the personnel and the team's shape. But nothing seems to work…“It is difficult to accept our level of running and intensity in duels, because we are losing duels everywhere: in attack, in defence, all over the pitch. We have to understand what is happening and improve our fitness levels, as well as our desire to fight. We have not put in enough effort all over the pitch, and we have to see whether these players even have what we need. We have to find out what has led to this situation” Luciano Spalletti declared. And Napoli are coming to Turin on Sunday…##NAJAVA_MECA_10067437##
