Juventus Under Pressure: Comolli and Spalletti Face Scrutiny

Juventus owner John Elkann is reportedly set to assess the futures of director Damien Comolli and coach Luciano Spalletti if the Bianconeri fail to secure Champions League qualification this season.

La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that a decisive week awaits the club, with a Champions League knockout tie against Galatasaray and a Serie A clash against Roma on the horizon. A recent 2-0 home loss to Como and a 5-2 defeat in the first leg of the Champions League play-off have intensified the pressure.

According to the report, negative results in these fixtures could trigger a review of the managerial and sporting structures. Spalletti’s contract expires in June, and Comolli’s transfer decisions, including the struggling signings of Lois Openda and Edon Zhegrova, have drawn criticism.
