Antonio Conte's shadow over Spalletti divides Juventus fans, what is the truth?

The defeat to Sassuolo has brought back a classic refrain in the Juventus home that has been heard for years. A part of the black and white fans dreamed and still dreams of the return of Antonio Conte to the black and white bench and the end of last season and the beginning of this one has not helped Spalletti's position in the eyes of nostalgics.

Of course, it is too early to talk about a change of coach and Giovanni Carnevali himself has already preempted the theories that have been circulating on social media. 'Spalletti is an extraordinary coach, among the absolute best - were Carnevali's words - it is not in my style to change the coach, we need to give him time and be patient'

But at the same time, the club that officially backs Spalletti wants a change of momentum starting with Thursday's Europa League match against NEC Nijmengen. A match that on paper is more than passable, but that should not be mistaken and to avoid what is currently simply a wish of the fans becoming a concrete idea.

This is also due to the fact that Juventus is not a team that makes changes to the bench during the season, while Conte himself does not prefer to take charge of a team that has started its season; it had only happened to him with Atalanta in 2009 and Tottenham in 2021.

But we must not forget that there is also the other part of the fans that is just as important that prefers not to look at the past and defends Spalletti's work by considering Conte, who is now without a team, as a closed chapter. 'Conte at Juventus? He would accept' - emphasized a famous former Juventus footballer, Massimo Mauro - he is the only one who can return the Juventus DNA to a team that no longer has it'.

So, at this point the focus should be on the next two matches, those that will be played before the international break with Spalletti who will have to show that he is capable of holding the Juventus bench.
