Juventus Owner to Assess Spalletti and Comolli if Champions League Missed

Juventus owner John Elkann plans to assess the future of manager Luciano Spalletti and director Damien Comolli if the club fails to secure Champions League qualification.

Juventus enters a decisive week with a crucial Champions League tie against Galatasaray and a Serie A match against Roma. The Bianconeri, currently four points behind a Champions League spot, face potential consequences if results do not improve. Following a 2-0 loss to Como and a 5-2 defeat to Galatasaray, owner John Elkann is reportedly ready to evaluate the futures of Spalletti and technical director Damien Comolli.

Spalletti’s contract expires in June, and while talks of continuity exist, a failure to finish in the top four could change the scenario. Additionally, director Comolli’s transfer decisions, including the potential permanent signing of Lois Openda, are under scrutiny.
