Paolo Di Canio insists Kolo Muani is getting better

Luciano Spalletti is confident that the goals will soon start to come for Randal Kolo Muani, as he remains patient with the striker as his main man in attack. The Juventus forward has struggled to find the back of the net so far, but there are signs that his performances are beginning to improve.

Paolo Di Canio also believes the former PSG star is getting better each time he plays. That will be encouraging for Juventus, particularly because the club invested so much time and effort into bringing Kolo Muani back after his impressive loan spell with the Bianconeri during the 2024/2025 season.

Juve spent so much time and money trying to sort out a move for Kolo Muani in the last transfer window because they were determined to bring him back. His previous spell had convinced the club that he could be an important player for them, despite the difficulties he experienced elsewhere.

The Frenchman knows he has to score goals and has been struggling to do exactly that so far. He has spent plenty of time on the field but has not been able to find the back of the net, leaving him under pressure to deliver in front of goal.

Kolo Muani Showing Signs of Improvement

Kolo Muani also had a difficult loan spell last season at Tottenham, but Juve still believe he can do well. That belief has encouraged them to remain patient with him, and there are now signs that their patience is starting to pay off.

Di Canio believes the striker is showing improvements in his game, particularly in the way he moves and contributes when Juventus are in possession. His comments suggest that there has been a noticeable change in Kolo Muani’s performances.

He said via Tuttojuve:

“A month ago, with the spaces and characteristics he had, Kolo Muani wouldn’t have been like this. In his pace, his posture, and his way of doing things, at a certain point he came towards his attacking midfield, went wide, accelerated, went away, and got past the first line of pressure.”

Juventus Continue to Show Patience

Those improvements will give Juventus encouragement as they continue to wait for Kolo Muani to rediscover his goalscoring touch. The striker remains an important part of Spalletti’s plans, and his performances are beginning to show why the club remain confident in him.

For now, the priority is for Kolo Muani to build on these improvements and eventually turn his better performances into goals. If that happens, the patience shown by Spalletti and Juventus could prove valuable as the season continues.
