Following a disappointing start to the Serie A campaign, Juventus is facing pressure regarding the future of manager Luciano Spalletti. After seven matches, the club sits eighth in the league standings with only 11 points.

Reports indicate that Juventus executives are monitoring Simone Inzaghi, currently the manager of Al-Hilal, as a leading candidate for a permanent role next season. While no official negotiations have commenced, Inzaghi is being evaluated due to his extensive experience in Italian football. 

If the club requires immediate mid-season changes, Stefano Pioli and Antonio Conte have been identified as potential interim options. The board has expressed a preference for patience, but decisions may depend on upcoming domestic performance and the club's ability to qualify for the Champions League.
