“He made things worse” – Pundit expects Spalletti to dictate Juventus market instead of Comolli

“He made things worse” – Pundit expects Spalletti to dictate Juventus market instead of Comolli

Luciano Spalletti has recently been confirmed as the club’s head coach for the next two seasons, but Juventus could give him wider authority.

The 67-year-old replaced Igor Tudor in late October following a horrendous start to the season. Although it hasn’t been smooth sailing for the Bianconeri, the team has been on an upward trajectory, prompting the hierarchy to renew the manager’s contract even before securing qualification for the next edition of the Champions League.

Luciano Spalletti is a close ally of Juventus owner John Elkann

In addition to earning the trust and admiration of the players and the fanbase, Spalletti has formed a solid bond with Juve’s majority shareholder, John Elkann.

The patron has been in direct contact with the former Italy head coach, and his appearances at the stadium have become more frequent.

According to Italian journalist Franco Ordine, this solid relationship will be the foundation of the new Juventus project.

“The key point is just one: the clear understanding between Spalletti and John Elkann,” said the pundit during his appearance at Pressing (via Tuttosport).

These comments ensued in the wake of the Bianconeri’s commanding 2-0 victory over Bologna, which was perceived by many as one of the team’s best performances under Spalletti.
