After losing 2-0 at home to Como, the Bianconeri are four points behind Roma and Napoli in the Champions League places in Serie A.

In the first round of the Champions League knockout round, the Old Lady lost 2-5 away to Galatasaray, and the situation became even more pessimistic.
Needless to say, the next two games are crucial for Juventus and according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, negative results could have an impact on Comolli and Spalletti at the end of the season.

Spalletti’s contract expires in June and even though the Italian tactician and club directors have said they are more than willing to continue working together beyond the summer, failure to finish in the top four could lead to a different scenario.
Juventus boss John Elkann is said to have a good relationship with Spalletti and is in regular contact with the Italian tactician.
Comolli was appointed general manager of Juventus last summer and was promoted to chief executive in November.

The transfer decision made by the French director has raised eyebrows as new acquisitions have failed to make an impact in Turin, especially Eden Zeglova and Lois Openda.
The latter has scored just two goals in 34 games in all competitions and Juventus will have to make a permanent move for €45 million at the end of the season.
Fabrizio Romano reported in November that Juventus would be obliged to sign the Belgian striker next summer if they finish in the top ten of Serie A this season.
