Luciano Spalletti’s Juventus are facing a serious early-season problem. After 11 Serie A rounds, the Turin club have endured one of their worst starts ever, and the rest of the league’s leading sides are pulling further away.
A difficult start
The reported position puts this campaign among the three poorest openings in Juventus’ history. For a club that measures itself against the very top of Italian football, that is a stark warning sign, and the gap to the teams at the summit is widening.
The fixture list offers no relief
Spalletti’s side also have little breathing room in the schedule. The calendar has not helped them climb back into contention, and the margin for error is shrinking with every round.
To mount a credible comeback, Juventus need a clear step forward on the pitch. Results in the coming weeks will show whether the team can close the distance on the leading clubs or whether the title race will leave them behind.
