This stark reduction in game time for a player of his caliber and cost has raised questions about the manager's strategy and the player's future at the club.\n\nSpalletti explained his reasoning, stating, \"I have to make choices. I make them trying to take everything into account, but I inevitably lose something. And him, he invests a lot.\" The coach praised Openda's attitude, calling him \"incredible in terms of availability, professionalism, and desire to make himself available, even for two minutes of play.\"\n\nThe core of Spalletti's decision was based on a tactical assessment. \"If I didn't play him, it's because I thought the others could bring more results in those matches,\" he elaborated. This suggests a belief that other attacking options within the squad were better suited to the specific demands of recent fixtures, a gamble that has not consistently paid off given the team's recent form.\n\nOpenda arrived in Turin last summer from RB Leipzig on a loan deal with an obligation to buy for a reported €46 million. The 26-year-old, who previously starred for Lens, has found the net just once in 24 Serie A appearances this season. This return is a far cry from the prolific form that convinced Juventus to invest heavily in his services.\n\nThe timing of Spalletti's mea culpa is critical. Juventus currently sits in fourth place in Serie A with 65 points, the final automatic qualification spot for the UEFA Champions League. However, their position is under serious threat after a run of two consecutive draws. The gap to fifth-placed AS Roma is now just one point, while Côme lurks three points behind in sixth.\n\nThis precarious league standing adds immense pressure to every remaining match. The decision to bench a €46 million asset during a tight top-four race is a high-stakes managerial call. Spalletti's public admission could be interpreted as an attempt to manage expectations, motivate Openda, or signal a potential shift in approach for the final stretch of the season.\n\nThe situation highlights the delicate balance managers must strike between loyalty to in-form players and the need to utilize their full squad. For Openda, the lack of minutes is a professional setback, but Spalletti's praise for his work ethic suggests the door remains open for a more prominent role if circumstances change.\n\nAs Juventus travels to face Lecce, the implications of this managerial confession are clear. It puts a spotlight on Spalletti's selection choices and raises the stakes for Openda should he be given an opportunity. The club's Champions League hopes may well depend on getting this high-profile attacking puzzle solved correctly in the coming weeks.\n\nBased on reporting from Foot - actualités, mercato, info & vidéo en continu.","news","Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti admits to a 'mistake' in managing Belgian striker Loïs Openda's playing time, with the player seeing just 5 minutes since","326257539916238848","Lecce","328223595241148417","326135624706822144","Serie A","327052437300973568","Lecce vs Juventus","2026-05-08T15:03:35Z","spalletti-s-openda-error-juventus-coach-s-mea-culpa","L'Equipe","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.lequipe.fr\u002FFootball\u002FActualites\u002FLe-mea-culpa-de-l-entraineur-de-la-juventus-luciano-spalletti-sur-le-temps-de-jeu-de-lois-openda-c-est-l-une-de-mes-erreurs\u002F1674212#at_medium=RSS_feeds",[63,68,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89],"326257534526558208","326222707169431552","326222767416414208","326257536372051968","326257537865224192","326257556060114944","326257539576500224","326257695210344448","326257536443355136","326222712496197632",[64,69,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100],"RB Leipzig","Anderlecht","Lesotho","Metz","Estoril","Estudiantes L.P.","AS Roma","Signal","Lens","Netherlands","Spalletti's Openda Error: Juventus Coach's Mea Culpa",[103,138,153,178],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":66,"excerpt":104,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":105,"leagueId":71,"leagueName":72,"matchId":106,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":107,"slug":108,"sourceName":109,"sourceURL":110,"teamId":111,"teamName":112,"teamIds":113,"teamNames":125,"title":137},"Gasperini confirms Mancini will stay at Roma despite Inter links and addresses Dybala's contract situation as the club prepares for Champions League.","338067904341741569","0","2026-06-04T19:18:08Z","gasperini-on-dybala-mancini-what-roma-s-future-holds","Tuttosport","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.tuttosport.com\u002Fnews\u002Fcalcio\u002Fserie-a\u002Froma\u002F2026\u002F06\u002F04-149034088\u002Fgasperini_un_periodo_dove_si_parla_tanto_dybala_le_notizie_vengono_fuori_improvvisamente_\u002F","326257539769438208","Inter",[111,114,115,116,117,118,119,120,63,121,122,123,87,124,81],"326222712592666624","326222713054040064","326255039171530752","326255041188990976","326255041851691008","326257541291970560","326257546220277760","326257686389723136","326257769613103104","326257539425505280","326257661500723200",[112,126,127,128,129,130,131,132,64,133,134,135,98,136,92],"Congo DR","Haiti","Dinamo Minsk","FK Sarajevo","Cherno More Varna","Trabzonspor","Chelsea","Together","Capital","Napoli","Italy","Gasperini on Dybala & Mancini: What Roma's Future Holds",{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":66,"excerpt":139,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":140,"leagueId":71,"leagueName":72,"matchId":106,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":141,"slug":142,"sourceName":109,"sourceURL":143,"teamId":111,"teamName":112,"teamIds":144,"teamNames":148,"title":152},"Federico Dimarco won Serie A MVP with a record 18 assists, leading Inter to a Scudetto and two trophies under Chivu while Italy missed World Cup.","338054914762608641","2026-06-04T18:22:42Z","dimarco-leads-inter-to-scudetto-18-assists-mvp","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.tuttosport.com\u002Fnews\u002Fcalcio\u002Fserie-a\u002Finter\u002F2026\u002F06\u002F04-149033362\u002Fdimarco_c_solo_inter_anno_incredibile_due_trofei_con_chivu\u002F",[111,124,114,115,116,118,120,145,146,121,81,147],"326257554193649664","326257590377910272","326222713142120448",[112,136,126,127,128,130,132,149,150,133,92,151],"Perth Glory","Minnesota United FC","Canada","Dimarco Leads Inter to Scudetto: 18 Assists, MVP",{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":66,"excerpt":154,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":155,"leagueId":71,"leagueName":72,"matchId":106,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":156,"slug":157,"sourceName":109,"sourceURL":158,"teamId":63,"teamName":64,"teamIds":159,"teamNames":168,"title":177},"Juventus target Kolo Muani, valued at €25-30m by PSG, faces Galatasaray competition after Vlahovic exit.
