Juventus, Carnevali defends Spalletti: "Changing coach is not in my spirit"

"Changing coach is not in my spirit, we must try to plan and build: we need to give time and have patience, knowing that we will have to swallow bitter pills": thus the CEO and general manager of Juventus, Giovanni Carnevali, on Luciano Spalletti's position after the defeat in Reggio Emilia against Sassuolo.

"He is an extraordinary coach, one of the best ever - he continues on Radio Anch'io Sport - in football there are cycles, sometimes you are at the peak and other times you are in difficulty. Objective? To win, chatter counts for little or nothing".

The thud against the neroverdi, however, makes a noise: "If we look at the result it is negative, we made mistakes that Juve cannot make despite creating opportunities, but it is part of the growth path of the team and the club - adds Carnevali - we tried to win at all costs, losing balance against a strong team like Sassuolo: on the positive side I find the spirit to find the result at all costs, I hope that this defeat is a lesson and the faults are not only with the defence, but with all of us".

Meanwhile, the Europa League begins on Thursday with the match against Nec: "We must seek the maximum result, there is still a lot to do to compete for the scudetto and the Europa League, although not an easy tournament, can be and become an opportunity", replies the CEO and GM of Juve.
