Luciano Spalletti gives Sporting a scare on debut for new club | OneFootball

Juventus defeated Cremonese, 2-1, in the 10th round of Serie A. The Turin club has not had an easy start to the 2025/26 season, but returned to winning ways in an Italian championship match played at home.

First, highlight the debut of the new head coach of Juventus. Luciano Spalletti, the Italian coach who won the Serie A with Napoli, replaced Igor Tudor on the bench of the Turin club and made his first game just before the match against Sporting, for the Champions League.

And the truth is that the adventure as head coach of Juventus couldn't have started better for Luciano Spalletti, who saw Kostic put the Turin club ahead just two minutes into the game, in a match that did not feature any players with a history at Sporting, in either team.

In the second half, Juventus doubled the lead through Cambiasso in the 68th minute. Cremonese still caused a scare through Jamie Vardy, who made it 2-1 for the home team. However, there would be no more goals in the match, and the three points remained in Turin.

Juventus climbed to fifth place in Serie A, with 18 points from 10 matches. In the next match, they face Sporting in the Champions League, which will be only Luciano Spalletti's second game in charge of his new team - something that Rui Borges recently had the chance to comment on.
