Juventus, or The Old Lady as they are affectionately known by fans, is the most successful men’s professional soccer team in Italy. They have won the championship title on 36 separate occasions since 1898.
One of the most successful spells in the club’s history was throughout the 2010s when they won the Serie A championship nine times. However, since then, they haven’t won the league.
Things are looking much better this year. They are currently in second place, meaning there is a very slight chance they can win the current 2023/24 campaign.
Let’s dive straight in to see if The Old Lady can become the same club that it was in the previous decade and take a closer look at their chances of winning the league this year.
How successful were Juventus in the 2010s?
Before the 2010s, the last time Juventus won the title was at the end of the 2002/03 season, making it the 27th time they had won the top flight of Italian men’s professional soccer. They also won the previous season (2001/02).
By Juventus’ standards, the rest of the decade was pretty abysmal and is a period fans would rather forget. They had to wait another nine seasons before Juve would lift the cup again in the 2011/12 season.
During this time, they also spent one season (2006/07) down in Serie B as a punishment for their club officials’ roles in a match-fixing scandal.
Things didn’t improve until the 2010s. Incredibly, Juventus went on to win the league the following nine consecutive seasons. The final Serie A win came in the last season of the decade (2019/20), which earned them their 36th title.
Since then, things have not gone Juve’s way. They have failed to finish in the top three for the past three consecutive seasons, which many Serie A soccer betting sites didn’t see coming before the start of each season. The tables at the end of the season looked like this:
Season: 2020/21. Serie A winner: Internazionale (Inter Milan). Runners-up: AC Milan. Third place:…
