Juventus are preparing for a Serie A match against Napoli, with Football Italia reporting that La Stampa said part of the dressing room is unhappy with Luciano Spalletti's methods. The team has also been ordered into a two-day training retreat.
La Stampa's claim
La Stampa reported that some players believe Spalletti talks too much during training sessions, causing too much downtime during drills and reducing intensity.
Message after the Genoa defeat
On Thursday, after a 2-0 loss to Genoa, CEO Giovanni Carnevali gave a dressing-room speech asking the players to take responsibility for the poor results so far.
Successor links
Juventus have not held formal talks with any possible successor to Spalletti. Stefano Pioli, Paulo Sousa and Antonio Conte have been linked with the job at the Allianz Stadium.
Contract details
Juventus appointed Spalletti one year before the report was published. Spalletti's contract expires in June 2028.
