Rome: New Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti said on Friday that his seventh-placed team are capable of challenging for the Sere A title.

"Of course, I hope this team can still get involved in the title race," he said Friday, on the eve of Juve's game at Cremonese.

Spalletti, who succeeds the sacked Igor Tudor, added: "As we discussed with the players on Thursday, we must aim for the highest.

"And the highest is the Scudetto.

"Only nine matches have been played; there are still 29 left to play. That's a lot of matches, and I've seen many things during my 30-plus years of career."
