The Daily Zona Mista: Wednesday, Nov. 19
Welcome back to another Hump Day edition of the Zona Mista. As you might expect, with this being the final few days of the November international break, there’s a whole lot of international football going on over the last few days. With it has come plenty of qualification stories — big nations to make it […]
Reports: Bremer aiming for return from injury for Juventus’ December showdown with Napoli
Having all of Juventus’ best players available for the biggest fixtures in Serie A and the Champions League seems like something we haven’t been able to say all that often over the last few years. That’s mainly because arguably the best of the bunch on the current roster, center back Gleison Bremer, has missed the […]
The Daily Zona Mista: Tuesday, Nov. 18
It’s Tuesday, and that means the Zona Mista has already got a Case of the Mondays out of the way. We’re ready to attack Day 2 of the week, and that means we’re also one day closer to Juventus returning to the field. Now let’s just hope for no more injury scares — especially for […]
Report: Juventus rule out Vlahovic injury, but status to face Fiorentina still unclear
With the start of the new week, Dusan Vlahovic has made his way back to Turin following Serbia’s final two World Cup qualifiers in which they were officially eliminated from taking part in next summer’s tournament. The first stop, as you probably guessed, was over to J Medical to find out the extent of the […]
The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, Episode 312: Should Juventus really consider a Dusan Vlahovic contract extension?
To the surprise of many, Juventus did not part ways with Dusan Vlahovic during the summer transfer window earlier this year. There was no singular reason for that, and it resulted in the 25-year-old Vlahovic and his league-high €12 million net salary remaining on Juve’s books for the final year of his contract. So now, […]
The Daily Zona Mista: Monday, Nov. 17
Welcome to a brand new work week. And congratulations for getting through whatever the heck the Italian national team decided to do after going up 1-0 against Norway because that was … yeah, that was something all right. Sure, Italy was never going to get a win by nine goals that they needed to automatically […]
Reports: Dusan Vlahovic a potential doubt to face Fiorentina after picking up injury with Serbia
Considering we are just a few days away from new Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti having a full squad back at Continassa after the contingent of international players return to Turin, you maybe thought that a “no news is good news” situation regarding those same guys and their health might be developing. Nope, guess again. Juventus […]
The Daily Zona Mista: Sunday, Nov. 16
Welcome to the back half of the weekend, everybody. You’re now officially more than halfway done with the final international break of the 2025 calendar year and last one until March. This time next weekend, we will know how Juventus have returned from the international break, with a Saturday evening visit to the Franchi in […]
Can Juventus finally challenge for the Scudetto again?
Five years ago, as the world grappled with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Juventus were celebrating an unprecedented ninth straight league title. Little did they know, but it would be their final Scudetto for quite a while; Juve descended to a dismal fourth-place finish in 2020-21, finishing 13 points behind Inter Milan. And despite […]
The Daily Zona Mista: Saturday, Nov. 15
Welcome to the weekend, my friends. You’ve made it through the first half of the November international break. Seven days from now, we will officially have Juventus back on the viewing schedule as they head to Florence to face the last-place team in Serie A. Ah, what could possibly go wrong! We’re one day closer […]
Sergio’s Grab Bag: Baby Steps
Rome wasn’t built in a day. Despite the Luciano Spalleti era starting with a well-deserved win over newly-promoted and plucky upstart Cremonese, Juventus stumbled back to their usual lackluster results with back-to-back draws against Sporting CP and the intercity Derby della Mole against Torino. The malaise following Igor Tudor’s firing wasn’t going to end in […]
The Daily Zona Mista: Friday, Nov. 14
Well, well, well. It’s Friday — and that means you’ve made it through another week. And the result of that is being just about halfway done with the November international break. You go another week, and then calcio is back. Maybe not in the same way that Fabio Capello said, but it is back rather […]
Despite their ‘pact,’ a new contract for Dusan Vlahovic still looks quite difficult for Juventus
One of the most notable things to come out of Damien Comolli’s first meeting with the Italian media after becoming Juventus’ new CEO was the revelation that the club and Dusan Vlahovic had come to an agreement to basically table all contract talks until after the 2025-26 season. This self-described “understanding” or “pact” as Comolli […]
Khephren Thuram suddenly finds himself on international duty with France
One of the best things to come from the initial rush of national team call-ups was the simple fact that some of Juventus’ best players weren’t going to be out on international duty and would get the chance to work with new manager Luciano Spalletti for an extended amount of time before Juventus’ next game. […]
The Daily Zona Mista: Thursday, Nov. 13
Welcome back to the Zona Mista, everybody! It’s Thursday, so you know what that means … Well, other than some nonsense that’s about to follow, it’s also a very important game day for a certain former AC Milan midfielder who is now managing the Italian national team. So as Italy prepares to face Moldova in […]
Juventus Women pick up crucial UWCL victory on the road vs. Atlético Madrid
While they try and get things back on track domestically, Juventus Women headed to Spain for a showdown with Atlético Madrid on Wednesday night in the Women’s Champions League. Following the disappointing last-minute loss to Bayern Munich late last month, this was the chance for Max Canzi’s side to try and build some momentum to […]
Report: Juventus don’t intend to loan out Fabio Miretti in January
After an unfortunately time injury right on the cusp of the start of the 2025-26 campaign, young Juventus midfielder Fabio Miretti is back in action after making his season debut in last week’s draw with Sporting CP in the Champions League. It was a return to wearing Juventus colors that had to be delayed for […]
The Daily Zona Mista: Wednesday, Nov. 12
Hello, friends. It’s the Wednesday edition of the Zona Mista. And not only is it the official middle of the work week, but it’s also match day in the Women’s Champions League for Juventus Women, who have made the trip to Spain to face Atlético Madrid in a key league phase matchup. While we wait […]
Comolli rules out big January transfers, says Juve will talk contract with Vlahovic after the season
Tuesday brought the somewhat expected news that Damien Comolli, who has only been Juventus’ general manager since early June, has taken on a new and much more prominent role in Turin after being promoted to be the club’s new chief executive officer. With the promotion, Comolli will now have a footprint in just about every […]
Damien Comolli announced as new Juventus CEO
In a short announcement released earlier today, Juventus announced that Damien Comolli’s role with the club has been greatly expanded. The Board of Directors of Juventus Football Club S.p.A. (“Juventus” or the “Company”), which met today under the chairmanship of Gianluca Ferrero, resolved, inter alia, on the appointment of corporate officers and the granting of […]
The Daily Zona Mista: Tuesday, Nov. 11
It’s Tuesday and the Zona Mista rolls on. Doesn’t matter if it’s an international break or not, we’re back in the swing of things as Rino Gattuso heads into his second day of yelling at Italian national team players ahead of their big World Cup qualifiers later in the week. So what is there to […]
Juventus strikers have now gone 50 days without a goal from open play in Serie A
One of the downfalls that led to Igor Tudor being sacked as Juventus’ manager two weeks ago was the simple fact that his team just wasn’t scoring goals. And, as you can probably figure out, the fewer goals you score, then the less likely you are to win games no matter if it’s domestically or […]
The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, Episode 311: Spalletti’s first full week at Juventus is a frustrating one
It took all of one full week on the job for Luciano Spalletti to personally find out about the issues that have hampered Juventus over the last couple of seasons. You know, the reasons as to why there became a path for him to actually become manager of a team nobody really had thoughts about […]
The Daily Zona Mista: Monday, Nov. 10
It’s the beginning of a new work week, folks. It’s also the beginning of a new international break, with no club football on the schedule for the next 12 days or so. From Monday until Friday, we hopefully won’t have much going on when it comes to the club game. Which, a lot like the […]
Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. Torino
The old line that every goalkeeper who plays against Juventus suddenly becomes some Titan-level mix of Lev Yashin and Gianluigi Buffon has gotten cliche over the years, but cliches often form around truth. And over the last week, it has been a deep truth. After watching Rui Silva reject shot after shot on Tuesday in […]
