Serie A giants Juventus have witnessed plenty of promise under Luciano Spalletti, but the recent run of frustrating results has raised doubts over the Italian’s stay in Turin.
The Bianconeri have lost to Inter, Galatasaray and Como in the last ten days, with defeat to the Ligurian side putting a top-four qualification in jeopardy.

Gazzetta du Sport report that the matches against Roma and Gala will define Spalletti’s future. The Bianconeri ownership is closely monitoring the scenario, with Champions League qualification a clear objective before Spalletti’s stay is confirmed and his contract renewed.
If Roma beat Juve, they could be up to seven points ahead, which could cause problems for Turin. This would not only add certainty to Spalletti’s situation, but also plunge Damien Comolli into uncertainty.
Some believe the club’s finances have suffered enough over the past two seasons and the owners want to get them back on track. That will only happen if they qualify for the Champions League, with John Elkann having the final say on the matter.
