Juventus finds itself in a state of significant turmoil, leading to widespread anger among its supporters. The situation involves Antonio Conte deciding to stay at Napoli, Juventus potentially continuing with Igor Tudor for the time being, a palpable feeling of `betrayal` concerning Conte, and what many fans perceive as fanciful or poor managerial changes. This combination of factors has sparked a considerable revolt among the fanbase.
The current state of affairs at the club is being widely discussed, with many describing it as a hellish situation that appears far from over.
Fan Reactions
Here are some of the comments reflecting the mood of the fans:
- One fan, identified as `GuidoPiccinini-m5t`, squarely blames John Elkann for the club`s predicament, drawing unfavorable comparisons to the 2006 Calciopoli scandal. They question Giuntoli`s effectiveness, blame Motta, and feel deeply betrayed by Conte, whom they call not a “man” and prefer coaches like Klopp or Zidane, stating Conte should stay in Napoli.
- `fedalmabruzzone2178` simply calls Elkann “our tragedy” and openly wishes for the return of Andrea Agnelli.
- `robyporro6321` makes a provocative comparison, expressing fear that the club is becoming akin to Inter under Moratti, suggesting a period of chaotic and potentially unsuccessful management.
- `SergioCacciola-y1b` argues that a club failing to think big cannot win. They criticize the management for focusing only on saving money rather than building a strong club with competent people, even jokingly asking when Platini will become president.
- `Twilight_Harbinger81` offers a more structured perspective. While disagreeing it`s a total “tragedy”, they concede the corporate structure clearly needed review after two “ridiculous” years. They point out Conte was unavailable now as he had a contract and argue that Tudor *must* be the coach based on his performance. This fan emphasizes the need for serious planning, noting that Giuntoli left the club in a decent financial state with funds available from the Champions League and Club World Cup, urging the club not to make the same mistakes again.
- `santinaf5450` delivers a passionate condemnation of Conte, declaring him “dead” to them and no longer a true Juventino. They call him “false and lying like Judas and Pinocchio” and unworthy of respect, especially after the support he received even during the betting scandal. While criticizing John Elkann, they suggest the club isn`t entirely at fault if Conte changed his mind after previously agreeing.
- `MrStefcape` feels this is the second time Conte has hurt the club, finding it particularly disappointing coming from someone seen as a “true Juventino from within”.
- `robyporro6321` (in another comment) expresses relief that the “Conte telenovela” is finally over and urges the club to quickly sort out the situation with Giuntoli and the management to focus on getting back to winning ways.
- Matteo Lupi is quoted stating,
I don`t want to see Conte again, the society is indecent.
- Andrea Nicoli is quoted expressing,
I am deeply disappointed by everything, the ownership is absent.
The current atmosphere reflects deep frustration and disappointment among the Juventus faithful as they await clarity and stability.
