Juventus’ team bus was struck with rocks as it approached the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona for Sunday’s crucial Serie A clash against Napoli.

The match marked Luciano Spalletti’s return to his former club after two years, now arriving as Juventus manager.

Despite taking precautions to avoid hostility including staying at a different hotel until matchday, the Bianconeri still faced aggression on their way to the stadium. 

Spalletti, who led Napoli from 2021 to 2023 and delivered their first Serie A title in over three decades, left the club after that triumph and later coached Italy before joining Juventus in October following their poor start. 

According to DAZN Italia, stones shattered several bus windows, though no players were injured.
