As Luciano Spalletti prepares to take the reins at Juventus, the club’s fanbase has made a unique and provocative request regarding his famous body art.
Spalletti carries a recognizable tattoo dedicated to the Scudetto he won with Napoli, and Tuttomercatoweb (TMW) reports that Juventus fans have urged the incoming manager to address this reminder of their rivals’ success. This was done when a host of fans were outside the Continassa earlier today.
The request from the Bianconeri supporters is for Spalletti to remove the existing Napoli-related tattoo and replace it with a ‘J’ tattoo, representing Juventus, on his arm.
While the “mark of Napoli” is noted as a potential complication, the supporters appear willing to overlook it on the condition of this symbolic act. The demand reflects the highly sensitive nature of the rivalry and the pressure on Spalletti to fully embrace the Juventus cause, leaving his immediate, successful past with Napoli behind him.
