Spalletti Reaffirms Support for Kolo Muani Amid Juventus Striker Competition
Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti has doubled down on his backing of Randal Kolo Muani, dismissing growing speculation over the club’s striker hierarchy following the summer arrival of Nick Woltemade.
Manager Insists on Continuity Until Season’s End
Speaking to DAZN after Juventus were held to a 1-1 draw against AC Milan, Spalletti addressed the increasing debate surrounding his attacking options. The French international Kolo Muani has faced scrutiny over his form, while Woltemade’s arrival adds fresh competition for a starting role.
Despite the external noise, Spalletti made his position unambiguous: he will continue to support Kolo Muani through to the conclusion of the campaign.
Woltemade Adds Depth to Attacking Roster
The signing of Woltemade provides Juventus with a different profile up front, intensifying the battle for minutes. However, Spalletti’s post-match comments signal a clear preference for stability in the final third, at least for the remainder of the current season.
The draw at San Siro leaves Juventus with work to do in their pursuit of Champions League qualification, making the manager’s striker selection a focal point in the weeks ahead.
