Spalletti keeps his job, Allegri faces fresh questions
The victory allowed Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti to weather a game that had threatened his position, while, according to post-match assessments, much of the pressure will shift to his counterpart at Napoli, Massimiliano Allegri.
After ten rounds Juventus sit seventh in the Serie A table with 17 points — 11 fewer than leaders Lazio — while Napoli drop to eighth with 14 points.
