The club have lost their collective hunger.
Winning 10 league titles in a row does that.
I am not sure this is the problem. I think Agnelli is just as hungry for success as ever. The guy has a humungous ego. There's simply no way he wants his name associated with failure.
However, Juventus has lost the sense of direction it had a few years ago. I struggle to think of many good decisions the leadership of the club has made in the past few seasons. Initially, it was all blamed on Beppe Marotta. However, Marotta went to Inter and enjoyed success. While Juve continued to make uncharacteristically bad calls.
Juve's strategy for rebuilding the squad that got it to the 2017 Champions League final has been a failure. Juve has recruited lesser players than the ones that have retired or left. It has veered between coaches with wildly differing approaches without any real regard to the makeup of the squad. It has pretty much relied on Ronaldo's star power and goals and now it has lost those too.
Juventus will, at some stage this season, find form. However, I think Juventus' drop off is not entirely unexpected. At one stage last season Juve looked like it wouldn't make the top 4. Ronaldo dragged them to it. Now he's gone, what's the plan?
Could someone who actually watches Serie A speak about it. I mean the fact Juventus is doing poorly doesnt mean the whole league is ugly.
As others have said, Italian football has massively changed in the past decade. The whole league is far from ugly. I think the turning point was the 2012 Euros. After the final Italian football became far more open, with greater emphasis on intensity and pressing. I think the Italians looked at the way the Spanish had got at Pirlo in the final and decided that's what football is about: energy, pressure, attack. Italian football now shows a lot of those traits and less of the stereotypes about tough defending.
It makes for interesting watching because Italian teams tend to now go for/towards the ball, which leaves lots of space in behind.
