Luciano Spalletti sees Inter and Roma as favourites for the Scudetto, “but don’t leave Juventus for dead.”
The former Zenit Coach spoke to La Gazzetta dello Sport about the contenders for the Serie A crown.
“After the transfer activity at Inter, they have to accept the Scudetto challenge and not hide from it,” said Spalletti.
“Roberto Mancini used the last six months to start the selection process and perform experiments. It’s a big advantage to have.

“Roberto Mancini used the last six months to start the selection process and perform experiments. It’s a big advantage to have.
“Mauro Icardi won the Capocannoniere title with Luca Toni and is a genuine hitman, which every side needs. Mancini put a top player like Stevan Jovetic next to him, so with this pairing Inter cannot pretend they’re not out to win the Scudetto.
“Roma are the favourites, though. They are very strong with a world class midfield and made some important signings in attack.
“Don’t leave Juventus for dead, as that would be a huge mistake. The historic core of the side will help the newcomers quickly understand what it means to play with the Bianconeri jersey.
“Off the field, there is a club whose organisation represents another added bonus.”
