Napoli assistant coach Marco Landucci has dismissed talk of a crisis after Sunday's 2-0 defeat at Juventus left the Partenopei sitting eighth in the Serie A table. Deputising for suspended boss Massimiliano Allegri on the touchline, the stand-in chief insisted his depleted squad are disappointed rather than worried right now.
Luciano Spalletti has issued a rallying cry to the Juventus faithful, urging supporters to stand behind the team rather than turning the Allianz Stadium into a toxic environment. Despite securing a crucial 2-0 victory over rivals Napoli, the Bianconeri boss was quick to address the mounting tension between the stands and the pitch following recent poor results.
