Juventus and AS Roma: Coaches position under threat

AS Roma and Juventus continues their poor form in new season of Serie A. They opened the league campaign unconvicingly after 4 games when they are 2 big teams seating at the relegation spot.

AS Roma head coach Claudio Ranieri position is under threat when AS Roma still fail to register a win after 4 matches. 2 draws and 2 losses so far is the worst possible start for AS Roma in 10 years after clinching Scudetto in 2001 season. Ranieri's tactic and formation is questioning after AS Roma captain Francesco Totti criticise the tactic which is more defensive rather than attacking approach. The 4-2-3-1 formation shud be demolished and Ranieri shud implemented normal 4-1-3-2 formation as last season tremendous form.


Former Chelsea and Juventus coach managerial career at AS Roma is great after came back from another poor form last season under Luciano Spalleti when Ranieri was responsible with great form and entertaining of performance when AS Roma finished 2nd behind Inter Milan from 17th position on Oct 2009. Another blow the rumour says that former Italy coach Marcello Lippi is link with AS Roma coach position. This week (25/9/2010), Currently AS Roma at 19th position (2nd from bottom), will entertain champion Inter Milan in Rome and hope everything will change for AS Roma. Win over Inter will give boost for the Roman to catch back the form and continue to compete with Scudetto.

Juventus suffered another losses at home last night when they humiliated by Palermo 3-1. Luigi Del Nieri side fail to impress so far this season with only 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses. At the beginning of the new season, Juventus signing more great name compare to other teams in the league when bringing Simone Pepe, Fabio Quagliarella, Marco Motta, Alberto Aquilani (on loan from Liverpool) but still fail to deliver as what they should. Former Chievo coach, Del Nieri approach to rotate the squad player this season does not work so far and the Turin side has to come back in order to compete Scudetto this season. Alessandro Del Piero and co has to do something as well and urge the teammates to be more focus after several occasion they lead the game but loss at the end of it. The question is does Juventus have what it take to be a contender of the Scudetto this season?
