Spalletti faces pressure after Juventus' 3-0 home loss to Lazio

Summary

Luciano Spalletti is under scrutiny as Juventus' head coach following a 3-0 defeat to Lazio at home on October 15. The loss leaves Juventus with only 11 points from their first seven matches of the 2026-27 Serie A season, one point worse than the previous year's start. Supporters are increasingly calling for former coach Antonio Conte to replace Spalletti, with Conte available after leaving Napoli. Reports suggest that if Spalletti is dismissed, Conte would be the club's preferred candidate. Other potential replacements include Didier Deschamps, Stefano Pioli, and Vincenzo Montella.
