Turin, Italy - February 21: Luciano Spalletti, head coach of Juventus Fc looks dejected during the Serie A match between Juventus FC and Como 1907 at Allianz Stadium on February 21, 2026 in Turin, Italy. Before we try and identify the “Why?” of it all, just how bad have these last three Februarys been? Those are the simple facts of how February has gone for Juventus under Allegri, Motta and now Spalletti, with two of the last three seasons resulting in in-season managerial changes because of those struggles. The first is the overall squad construction that multiple front offices have tried to put together to not very good effect. Cristiano Giuntoli tried and failed to put together a good squad and ultimately it cost both Motta and then himself their jobs in Turin within the span of a few months.
