The new Serie A season is about to begin, and with it, Juventus' campaign. This upcoming season appears to be one of profound renewal for the Bianconeri, who have changed their technical staff, several players, and handed over full control of the transfer market to Sporting Director Cristiano Giuntoli.
The fourth-place finish in the 2023-2024 season and the sacking of Massimiliano Allegri after three years are now behind them. The Coppa Italia victory against Atalanta and the final matches under Paolo Montero's leadership opened up new horizons. Ultimately, Juventus chose Thiago Motta as their new coach, "stealing" him from Bologna after he shockingly led them to the Champions League.
The midfield has been completely revamped with the arrivals of Douglas Luiz from Aston Villa and Kephren Thuram from Lille, as well as Niccolò Fagioli's full recovery from suspension. Last but not least, the addition of Colombian defender Juan Cabal from Hellas Verona. Further transfers are expected for the Bianconeri, including potential high-profile exits such as Federico Chiesa.
In the meantime, the league is almost upon us, and Juventus will officially kick off on Monday, August 19, at 8:45 PM, against newly promoted Como. The first big match will be on the third matchday at the Allianz Stadium against Roma. On the fifth matchday, also in Turin, they will face former coach Conte with his Napoli. Inter-Juventus is scheduled for the end of October, and the Turin derby will be on the twelfth matchday. The first half of the season will conclude with a match against Atalanta.
The start of the second half of the season will be challenging for Juventus, with consecutive matches against Torino, Milan, and Napoli. The big clash with Inter will be on the twenty-fifth matchday, and the final match will be at the Penzo in Venice. The Champions League will begin in September with the innovative league format. Official match dates and draws will be revealed at the end of August, after the final qualification phase.
