Newly appointed Juventus boss Luciano Spalletti has maintained that the Scudetto race is still open for the club as they prepare for their upcoming trip to face Cremonese.
The 66-year-old will take charge of his first game as Juventus manager as his side travel to Cremonese on Saturday (November 1).
Juventus currently sit down in seventh, six points off current leaders and Spalletti’s former club Napoli at the top of the Serie A table.
Despite that, the veteran Italian manager believes Juventus could still lift the Scudetto come the end of the season.
"I hope we can get back and be involved in the race for the Scudetto," the former Italy boss said at his introductory press conference on Friday.
"That is what we were discussing with the players yesterday. We must aim for the top, and in this case, the top is the title race.
"Nine games have been played, still 29 to go. That's a lot of games. I've seen everything in my over 30-year career.
"I don't see why I should settle for less. I have absolute respect for the quality of these players."
