Carnevali calls Juventus situation ‘not acceptable’ as squad enters retreat before Napoli

Juventus have entered a training retreat at the JTC Continassa until Sunday's Serie A clash against Napoli following a blunt meeting with chief executive Giovanni Carnevali. The club's leadership demanded an immediate response from the players after a 2-0 defeat to Genoa, with goals scored by Kingsley Ehizibue and Tommaso Baldanzi. While Carnevali confirmed the board's trust in manager Luciano Spalletti, the upcoming fixture is considered decisive for the coach's future.

Juventus and Napoli currently share identical records of four wins, two draws, and three defeats from nine league matches. Napoli will be without manager Massimiliano Allegri, who is serving a two-match ban and a 10,000 euro fine following his conduct during a 3-3 draw against Roma. The match takes place at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday, November 1, 2026.
