The coach and owners have no doubts: next season the Bianconeri must return to fighting for the top spot in Italy. And rich ad hoc bonuses have been included in the contracts
Juve doesn’t leave. In fact, it doubles. Although the collapse at the end of the season, with relegation to the Europa League after thinking they had the Champions League in their hands, may have caused disappointment in the environment and in the team group, the Juventus management has no intention of changing the plans and reducing the ambitions for next season. John Elkann and Spalletti have been on the same wavelength for some time: the Old Lady must immediately return to competing for the scudetto. And, to confirm this, rich prizes for the Italian flag appear in new contracts.

The Juventus coach, on the other hand, had not hidden himself from day one. “As I said to the players, I hope to be able to get back into the championship round: ambitions must be at their highest”, he began in the presentation press conference, perhaps even going so far as to cherish, between December and January, the feeling that hope could become reality. Even the end-of-season numbers, despite the failure to reach the minimum target, seem to confirm the impressions: Juve has proven to be the potential second force of the championship, occupying first position among Serie A teams for expected goals conceded and offensive recoveries and second for expected goals scored and shots taken. In short, the belief is that with the inclusion of at least one element of character and experience per department it will be possible to transform this data into results, making up for the individual shortcomings shown in the last year.

For its part, the owners have a great desire for revenge after the 100 point gap accumulated by the first in the table in the last six championships and, in the planning meeting for the future held on Friday with the CEO Comolli and the coach, they guaranteed that they will support a market that is up to par despite the lack of revenue from the Champions League. In addition to this, however, he wanted to give… an extra motivation: thus, in Spalletti’s contract, renewed at the beginning of April with a salary of 5 million euros net per year for the next two years, a very rich scudetto prize, worth one million, was included. But not only that, because similar figures, albeit slightly lower, were also foreseen in the other agreements extended in 2026 with Kenan Yildiz, Weston McKennie and Manuel Locatelli. Will it be enough?
