Di Canio: Where it went wrong for Tudor - and what Spalletti needs to do

Former Juventus striker Paolo di Canio says new coach Luciano Spalletti needs to bring "clarity" to the team's setup.

Di Canio insists Spalletti must bring in a consistent playing system after the chopping and changing of predecessor Igor Tudor.

He told Sky Italia: "What does Spalletti have to offer? You need a well-defined system. If you want to involve every member of the squad, you need a 433.

"You have pairings in every position: the wingers, the midfielders, the forwards, the central defenders. And that way you don't play with three at the back, which is difficult. You'd be more covered and can free up the play of a midfielder.

"That way you include everyone except Kostic, who you can adapt."

From the players' perspective, Di Canio also stated:  "We need clarity. (Kenan) Yildiz is trying to do too much like this. You have to give him some certainty with a 433 and just make two moves.

"You have to eliminate confusion at the start. Spalletti isn't stupid; he knows he doesn't have excellence. He has to field a good product to beat teams that are inferior to Juve.

"Tudor's mistake was not being satisfied and getting frustrated by demanding excellence from a team that couldn't give it to him. And so he started experimenting too much and getting confused."
