Overview
- Luciano Spalletti was unveiled by Juventus and said the team should try to re-enter the title race, with director general Damien Comolli confirming a contract to season’s end plus an extension option.
- His first match is at Cremonese tonight, with Daniele Chiffi appointed as referee and Maggioni and Sozza assigned to VAR for the 10th round.
- Spalletti’s initial squad excludes Yildiz for knee load management and Kelly for a back complaint, with Khephren Thuram available again; Bremer, Cabal and Milik remain out.
- With only a brief preparation window, Spalletti signaled he could keep Juventus close to their recent back-three setup before deeper tactical changes.
- Genoa kept Patrick Vieira in place for Monday’s trip to Sassuolo as a last-chance assignment, while ownership evaluate a new sporting director (Diego López linked) and consider ex-players Mimmo Criscito or Gennaro Ruotolo as interim coaching options if they make a change.
