According to Gazzetta, club owner Elkann met the players in the dressing room at full-time. The pink paper claims that Elkann was short of compliments as he reiterated that the blame falls on the players when coaches are changed so often.

It was an ‘opportunity to remind everyone of their responsibilities,’ wrote Gazzetta.

It is reported that Elkann was ‘firm’ in his speech, but did not confirm to the team that Spalletti would take over.

Juventus had sacked Tudor on Monday after eight games without victories, four without goals and three consecutive losses.
