Comolli and Spalletti under scrutiny as Juventus enter decisive week

Juventus owner John Elkann is reportedly preparing to assess the futures of director Damien Comolli and coach Luciano Spalletti if the club fails to secure Champions League qualification.

With a decisive week approaching featuring matches against Galatasaray and Roma, the Bianconeri are currently four points behind the Champions League spots. Following a disappointing 2-0 home loss to Como and a heavy 5-2 first-leg defeat to Galatasaray, the stakes are high.

According to reports, negative results in these upcoming fixtures could have significant consequences for the coaching staff and management. Spalletti's contract expires in June, and director Comolli's transfer decisions, including the underperforming acquisitions of Edon Zhegrova and Lois Openda, have raised eyebrows.
