The Italian club has introduced a number of new players, with Massara highlighting the need for patience as the team adapts to its new lineup. "We have changed a lot," Massara said. "There are eight new players on the field tonight." He added that it is logical that the team needs time to gel, and that they should remain calm in their assessment.
Juventus' recent 3-2 loss to Sassuolo has been one of the worst starts to a season in years. However, Massara remains confident in the team's abilities, stating that they are in good hands and that the club has full trust in Spalletti and the team. "The team is in excellent hands and the club has complete faith in the qualities of the coach and the team," Massara said.
Speculation surrounding a possible successor to Spalletti has emerged in Italy, with transfer journalist Matteo Moretto reporting that Antonio Conte is a name being considered by Juventus. However, Moretto noted that there are currently no concrete negotiations. "The club supports the current coach, but Spalletti must now deliver results," Moretto said.
Juventus will face NEC in the Europa League, and it remains to be seen how the team will perform under Spalletti's leadership.
