A birthday to remember for the boss! On Saturday night, March 7, 2026, Juventus finally found their scoring boots, dismantling bottom-side Pisa 4–0 at the Allianz Stadium.
After a frustrating run of four league matches without a win—and recent exits from both the Champions League and Coppa Italia—Luciano Spalletti’s men delivered a clinical second-half performance to gift their manager the perfect birthday present.

Key Takeaways: The Spalletti Reset
Kenan Yildiz—The Difference: The 20-year-old Turkish sensation was the architect of the victory. With a goal and an assist, he single-handedly broke down a Pisa defense that had held firm for the entire first half.
The Birthday Win: Luciano Spalletti (turning 67) made a bold move by withdrawing Jonathan David at half-time for Jeremie Boga. The tactical switch paid off instantly, with Boga adding the pace and directness that eventually cracked the game open.
Ending the Drought: This win snaps a painful 22-day winless streak for the Bianconeri. The three points move them to 50 points, just one point behind Roma and Como in the fierce battle for a Champions League spot.
Pisa’s Despair: Despite a heroic early save from Mattia Perin to deny Stefano Moreo, the visitors couldn't handle the second-half onslaught. They remain rock bottom of Serie A with their survival hopes fading.
The Verdict: This was the "get-right" game Juventus desperately needed. While the first half was sluggish, the second half showed the fluidity and ruthlessness that Spalletti has been demanding. With Genoa up next, Juve have the perfect chance to build a winning streak.
