Juventus Next Gen find themselves in the midst of an unrelenting crisis, currently languishing in the penultimate position of Serie C Group C. The young Bianconeri squad has managed to secure only a single point from their last eight matches, with their most recent defeat coming in a 1-0 loss away to Foggia.
The team’s position in the league table is nothing short of disastrous. After fourteen matches, Juventus Next Gen has amassed a mere 7 points, resulting from one victory, four draws, and a staggering eight losses. Their goal difference is equally concerning, having conceded 26 goals while scoring only 12. With a third of the season already gone, the specter of relegation looms large over the Bianconeri, who desperately need to reverse their fortunes.
The latest setback in Foggia appears to be the final straw, placing head coach Paolo Montero’s position in serious jeopardy. Montero, who was promoted from the Primavera (youth) team, now finds his role more precarious than ever. While no immediate decision was made in the heat of the moment following the match, ongoing evaluations and considerations seem to be leaning towards Montero’s dismissal from his role as Juventus Next Gen coach.
Should Montero be relieved of his duties, the club might look to recall Massimo Brambilla, who previously managed the team from 2022 to 2024. Brambilla’s experience and familiarity with the environment could make him an ideal choice to steer the second team of Juventus back on course. His understanding of the club’s youth development project could prove crucial in nurturing young talent during this challenging period.
