Luciano Spalletti has ordered Juventus players to attend a training retreat as the club attempts to address their disappointing run of form. Sporting director Giovanni Carnevali has also delivered a stern message to the squad following their latest setback.
The Bianconeri have struggled to maintain consistent performances in recent weeks, leaving players and staff under increasing pressure to turn things around. They began the campaign positively and have produced some encouraging performances, but their form across competitions has deteriorated.
Juventus are finding it difficult to demonstrate that they can compete consistently with their rivals. Their recent results have raised concerns, and the club know they must respond quickly if they are to prevent the situation from becoming even more difficult.
Spalletti demands a response from his players
Spalletti has taken action by ordering the squad into a retreat, with the intention of helping the team regain focus and improve their performances. The Juventus manager knows that the players must take responsibility for their recent displays and begin producing better results.
The defeat against Genoa was another disappointing moment for the Bianconeri. Their performance left plenty to be desired, and they were unable to do enough to avoid losing the fixture.
Football Italia reports that Carnevali addressed the players after the defeat, making it clear that their performances and results must improve. The sporting director reportedly delivered a stern message to the squad, stressing that the club cannot continue along the same path.

Pressure mounting at Juventus
The situation has created pressure throughout the club, with senior figures also facing scrutiny over the team’s performances. Carnevali is among those under pressure, and his position could come under threat if results do not improve.
Juventus cannot afford to allow their poor run to continue. The players must show greater consistency, improve their performances and start collecting victories if they want to restore confidence around the club.
The retreat and Carnevali’s reported intervention underline the seriousness of the situation. Spalletti and the club’s leadership will now expect a response on the pitch, with the squad having little room for further disappointing results.
