Spalletti: ‘I’m not irritable enough, quicksand around Juventus’

Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti expressed frustration with media coverage, warning that failing to win creates surrounding quicksand ahead of Sunday's match against Lazio. Spalletti will serve a touchline ban following a confrontation with Cagliari coach Fabio Pisacane, leaving assistant manager Marco Domenichini to direct the team. The press conference followed Juventus's 2-1 away victory against Celta Vigo in the Europa League.

Spalletti dismissed rumors of retirement, insisting he will continue coaching beyond his current tenure at Juventus. He also indicated squad rotation will occur after late travel from Spain, confirming forward Jeremie Boga is fit for up to 30 minutes of action.
