Juventus represent a case study in what not to do, but also serve as a reminder that poor decisions in the recent past impact the present and the future, narrowing the ability of replacements to make optimal choices. Their next managerial move will determine if they descend further down their spiral, or if they finally start to rid their system of the poisons built up over the years.

Tottenham Hotspur are looking to sign Jonathan David from Juventus in the upcoming transfer window. According to a report from Fichajes, the Italian outfit is unhappy with the performance of the Canadian International. They signed him on a free transfer at the start of the season, but he has managed to find the back of the net just once in all competitions.

The endless games in the street. I grew up in Naples, in the Pallonetto di Santa Lucia neighbourhood, a place where you quickly learn to survive. I was a lively, smart child. My mother was a stay-at-home mom, my father a railroad worker. We didn't eat much at home. Every now and then I helped my grandfather deliver chickens door to door; he owned a chicken shop. They taught me to live well with little.

It is back to the UEFA Women's Champions League today for Bayern Munich. The Bavarians take on Juventus as they seek to rebound from a 7-1 crushing at the hands of FC Barcelona last time out, and it is a full slate of action in the UWCL today beyond that: Atlético Madrid vs. Manchester United Paris Saint-Germain vs. Real Madrid Benfica vs. Arsenal

Allegri always kept me in mind, even though I didn't play much. He gives you complete freedom in attack, but if you make tactical mistakes, he goes crazy. Di Francesco and Gasperini are similar; they pay maximum attention to defence.

Barcelona are reportedly considering replacing Robert Lewandowski with Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic in the summer transfer window. Lewandowski is expected to move on when his contract expires, while Vlahovic will also be available on a free transfer and could head to Catalunya. Over in Italy, Tuttosport reports that Barcelona are interested and that Deco held talks with the striker's agent Darko Ristic back in August.

The Rome native joined the Turin club aged just 17, moving to an unknown city up north and to a team that had just been created. It was new territory for Caruso, whose childhood idol was Rome's own Francesco Totti. She would stay with Juventus for seven and a half years, becoming part of a project that has helped shape women's football in Italy. She became captain, a senior international and the club's record appearance holder with over 200 games.

I had a really amazing time in England with Arsenal, Walti said. I think every good moment with a team at some point comes to an end and I felt it was my time to move on if I want to have more control over my career. For me it was always important to look a bit beyond football as well - being in a new country, getting to know a new league, a new culture, maybe learning a new language - these are things that benefit me, so in the end Juventus was a really good choice for me.

Juventus are in concrete talks with Adin Ličina, whose contract at FC Bayern expires next summer. Borussia Dortmund are also interested in the 18-year old attacker. With the development of Kenan Yıldız serving as an example, Juve are in a good position to convince Ličina to join them. Bayern are well awareLičina's qualities and don't want to lose him - especially not on a free transfer. However, the signs currently point towards a departure.

It's absolutely true that there were great champions [at Milan], but at the heart of everything was the game that these champions knew how to interpret to perfection. How many teams made up of champions haven't followed the same path as us? Many, many. I remember, because I had firsthand experience, that when I went to Real Madrid, this was the attack: Beckham, Raul, Ronaldo the Phenomenon, Zidane, and Figo.

Ewa Pajor and Clàudia Pina each scored twice as Barcelona's bid to reclaim the UEFA Women's Champions League began with a 7-1 thrashing of Bayern Munich. Barca, who were beaten by Arsenal in last season's final after lifting the trophy in the two previous campaigns, edged ahead in the fourth minute thanks to a delightful curling finish from captain Alexia Putellas. Poland international Pajor quickly doubled the advantage with an acrobatic close-range effort.

According to Fabrizio Romano (via @iMiaSanMia), Juve were in the market for a right-back, but balked at Bayern's price tag of €50 million for the Croatian International. Bayern also counter-offered Sacha Boey, but Juventus was not interested. Per the report, the 25-year old Stanišić will remain a target for Juventus going forward. His contract with the German Rekordmeister runs until the Summer of 2029. Unless something changes drastically with his performance, Bayern will likely not lower their asking price in the near future.
