Several Juventus players are reportedly unhappy with head coach Luciano Spalletti's training methods, according to La Stampa. The dissatisfaction stems from complaints that Spalletti engages in excessive talking during sessions, which diminishes the intensity of practices. This criticism emerges as the team prepares for a vital Serie A match against Napoli following a 2-0 loss to Genoa. Spalletti's position is under scrutiny after Juventus secured just 14 points from their first nine league matches this season. In light of recent results, CEO Giovanni Carnevali held a meeting stressing player accountability, and there has been speculation about potential successors to Spalletti, including Stefano Pioli, Paulo Sousa, and Antonio Conte.
