Michele Padovano supports continued playing time for Randal Kolo Muani

Juventus striker Randal Kolo Muani remains a focal point for the club despite a slow start to his tenure. Signed from Paris Saint-Germain during the most recent transfer window as a replacement for Dusan Vlahovic, the Frenchman has yet to score a goal for his new side. Manager Luciano Spalletti has publicly called for improved production from the forward but maintains support for his inclusion in the starting lineup. Michele Padovano has echoed this sentiment, suggesting the coaching staff should remain patient with the player through the remainder of the season. Padovano indicated that while Kolo Muani has struggled with finishing, his overall performance during his time in Turin warrants further opportunities. Juventus intends to reassess the situation at the end of the campaign as the club hopes the striker can regain his form.
