Juventus: Spalletti on a par with Thiago Motta and Tudor. Pirlo did much better

Juventus' league record over the past 15 years, from 2011 to today, excluding the brief interim spells of Massimo Brambilla (one match in the dugout) and Paolo Montero (two matches), puts Spalletti's side at a very similar level to Thiago Motta's (who won fewer matches proportionally but also lost fewer), and only slightly ahead of Tudor's Juventus. Conte, Allegri, Sarri and even Pirlo's teams are a long way ahead. The figures come from Sky.

Conte: 273 points in 114 matches (83 wins, 24 draws, 7 defeats): 2.39 points per game

Allegri: 663 points in 302 matches (202 wins, 57 draws, 43 defeats): 2.20 points per game

Sarri: 83 points in 38 matches (26 wins, 5 draws, 7 defeats): 2.18 points per game

Pirlo: 78 points in 38 matches (23 wins, 9 draws, 6 defeats): 2.05 points per game

Spalletti: 65 points in 36 matches (18 wins, 11 draws, 7 defeats): 1.81 points per game

Motta: 52 points in 29 matches (13 wins, 13 draws, 3 defeats): 1.79 points per game

Tudor: 30 points in 17 matches (8 wins, 6 draws, 3 defeats): 1.76 points per game

Since 2001, Juventus have made a worse start to the league season only three times: in 2015/16, they had just 8 points after seven matches before a remarkable comeback took them to the Serie A title. In 2008/2009, they picked up 9 points under Ranieri and finished second. In 2022/2023, the second season of Allegri's second spell, they had 10 points and finished seventh.
