\"Alla Juventus vincere non è importante. È l'unica cosa che conta.\"
It’s time to tap the mic to make sure this thing is still on. Has anything happened since the last time we were able to find the time to drop a daily edition of the Zona Mista on you guys? (I check, but I’m pretty sure we all know the answer to that.) But now […]

It is not breaking news that Juventus’ domestic and European campaigns have not exactly gone all that well through the first 2 1/2 months of the 2025-26 season. It is why Igor Tudor found himself out of a job two Mondays ago, thus resulting in the arrival of Luciano Spalletti and his much more accomplished […]

It was an excruciating day at the J Stadium on Tuesday, as Juventus came agonizingly close to a winning goal against Sporting CP, only to be denied by last-second blocks, misjudged runs, or high-level saves by goalkeeper Rui Silva. In short, rotten luck. Given the position the result puts Juve in in the League Phase, […]

When I was a freshman in high school, my homeroom teacher’s name was Mr. Bobo. No, I’m dead serious, that’s actually his surname. Mr. Bobo was — well, is, the man’s still very much alive — a man of few words, who often watched the world in front of him with an attitude that could […]

If Luciano Spalletti’s first two games as Juventus manager have shown us anything, it’s that he’s been able to unlock a few things when it comes to this team’s previously frustrating chance creation issues. The finishing of those chances, though? That’s still a problem. Juventus outshot Sporting CP by nearly a 5-to-1 margin on Tuesday […]

As Luciano Spalletti heads into his second game as Juventus manager, he can still count on one hand how many training sessions he has had with his new club. The simple fact of when he took over for Igor Tudor and how unrelenting the schedule can be for a club playing domestically and in Europe […]

Well, it’s safe to say that last week was a rather eventful one for Juventus. And not because they actually won a game or two after going nearly two months without claiming three points. It is because the winless run Juventus went on cost Igor Tudor his job as Juventus manager. That news came down […]

A coach was fired, a CEO departed, a financial investigation, and the worst run of form in almost two decades. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Mad Max: Thunderdome, where two men enter, and one man leaves! Juventus, where chaos has become the norm! It really is a strange time at the club. We’re making headlines […]

The Luciano Spalletti era started for Juventus on Saturday with a 2-1 victory over Cremonese. That scoreline could’ve been a lot more had one or two things gone a little differently, but the new-look Juve had little ultimate problem despite Cremonese making things slightly too interesting with a late goal. How did the players look […]

After winning their first game in the post-Igor Tudor era on Wednesday under stand-in coach Massimo Brambilla, Saturday’s match against Cremonese was the Juventus debut of their new full-time manager, Luciano Spalletti. The result was the same. The way they got there was decidedly different. Brambilla only had one training session between Tudor’s firing and […]

When the first day of November arrives every year, it’s also a day to celebrate at Juventus — it’s the Old Lady’s birthday, with the grand and most successful Italian club turning 128 years old in 2025. The catch this season is that Juve’s birthday comes on the same day in which Luciano Spalletti made […]

For the third time in the span of a week, Juventus will have a different manager on the sideline barking out instructions to the 11 players on the field. Of course, that’s a little tongue-in-cheek, but it just shows you how quickly the fixtures are coming at Juventus regardless of their managerial situation. But after […]

We already knew new Juventus manager was going to be without Juventus’ best defender when he made his managerial debut at the club this weekend against Cremonese. Upon Juve’s departure for Cremona on Friday evening, we found out Spalletti will be without the Bianconeri’s best attacking player, too. Juventus star attacker Kenan Yildiz was not […]

Well, it’s hard to post the worst Juventus winless stretch since the 2008-09 season — that’s 16 years for all of you counting at home — and not face consequences. So, Igor Tudor, we hardly knew ye. After eight winless games — five straight draws and then losses to Como, Real Madrid and finally Lazio […]

Now, as we head to the doorstep of the weekend and the beginning of November, one of the […]

Juventus’ midweek spin with Udinese finally ended their six-week-long winless run. It wasn’t the most dominant performance in the world, but wins are wins and points are points, and to get back to winning ways was hugely important with Luciano Spalletti ready to take over for the rest of the season. Who impressed their new […]

Luciano Spalletti is done with his few months back on his vineyard and hanging out with his favorite geese and ducks in the Tuscan sunshine. He is back in the game — and Juventus hope that he is the man who can, at the very least, get things headed in the right direction once again […]

The last six-and-a-half weeks have been one of the most supremely disappointing periods of time for a Juventus fan this century. After their incredible 4-3 win in the Derby d’Italia on Sept. 13, the Bianconeri had failed to win another game. The eight-game winless streak was the team’s longest since 2009. The subset of the […]

The waiting game for Luciano Spalletti and Juventus to agree to a contract to become the club’s new manager has turned into a waiting game as to when he will take control of his new squad. It was thought to be Wednesday. Then Thursday. Now, it might be even later than that. According to Sky […]

Even if it’s just going to be for one game, Massimo Brambilla can say he did something that Igor Tudor wasn’t able to do for the better part of the last two months. That is, ya know, actually get Juventus over the finish line and win a game. For the first time since Sept. 13, […]

The hammer has fallen and Igor Tudor is no longer Juventus’ manager. The thing is, like when Tudor took over for Thiago Motta back in March, there is no international break — or at least part of one — for the next man up to come in and try to at least establish some sort […]
