In early December last year the Max Allegri's Juventus he fought head to head with theInter for the conquest of the championship. A year later and after the summer revolution of the Sporting Director Cristiano Giuntoli la Thiago Motta's Juventus is sixth in the standings, 6 points behind the leaders Napoli of Antonio Conte and is currently also out of the Champions zone, which is the minimum objective of a company that in the summer spent about 200 million to return to being a protagonist in Italy and Europe. Even in the current Champions League, Juve, after a good start, has jammed and at best it can aspire to the play offs to try to reach the eighth finals.
Even taking into account the running-in period that must be granted to the new coach and even considering the endless series of injuries (which however are not all the same because the muscular ones question the quality of the athletic preparation methods and also the medical history of the injured players) the results on the field speak for themselves and for Giuntoli's new course the failure is there for all to see. But the most sensational flop is not even that of the team on the field but that of the market. How is it possible that after four months there are two stars like Douglas Luiz, which cost 50 million, and Nico Gonzales, who will cost over 30 million, who have almost never played (in truth Douglas Luiz did play a few minutes and made such a series of mistakes that he became unwatchable) and who Juve, at least as far as the Brazilian is concerned, is even thinking of dumping in January? It is the certification of the failure without appeal of the arrogant Giuntoli who has really gotten very few things right for Juve so far, if we exclude the youngsters Conceicao and Thuram. Fortunately for Giuntoli, the ownership of the Agnelli-Elkann family has many other problems to think about today (from the Stellantis crisis to the Tavares succession and the legal dispute between Margherita Agnelli and her children from her first marriage) but sooner or later the accounts will have to be made and such a disastrous sporting management of Juve is not sustainable. Giuntoli immediately down from the tower.
