Juventus

In what has become a habit for Juven­tus, the Bian­coneri dropped two points and set­tled for a draw with Cata­nia. Juve could not defend a 2–0 lead over the vis­i­tors who have yet to reg­is­ter their first away win of the sea­son. The Bian­coneri squad is lack­ing in qual­ity and this is evi­dent when the […]

Udi­nese fin­ished 15th this past sea­son, yet Guidolin saw some­thing in the club and decided to join them. After a dis­ap­point­ing start of four […]
