Only one victory in 15 seasonal races, ten defeats and a solitary last place also behind a penalized Taranto who for a long time ran on the razor’s edge. A fragile team especially in defense, almost a retaliation given Montero’s role on the pitch, which is the worst in the entire group with only SPAL and Legnago doing worse in the entire third series. These are the numbers that led Juventus to decide to sack him Paolo Montero from leading the Next Gen team where he arrived last summer after his time with the Juventus Primavera and a brief stint in the first team.
The former defender’s Juventus DNA was not enough to obtain adequate results in a Group C that was imagined to be complicated, due to logistical and environmental issues, but not that much. The company thus decided to retrace its steps by entrusting the bench to that Massimo Brambilla who last year first made the play offs and then reached the quarter finals – the club’s best result – only being eliminated by a Carrarese team who now play, with merit, in Serie B.
It will be up to him, who has already experienced the difficulties of Group C this season on the bench of Foggia – where he lasted just six games – to try to revive the team’s fortunes and avoid relegation which could complicate a project, that of the second teams, which Juve has embraced from the beginning and continued on its own for a long time.
