Youngsters playing time: Where does Juventus rank Serie A clubs? Juventus has changed its approach this year and is now making use of the young players who have been rising through the Primavera and Next Gen ranks.
The Bianconeri now have five young players that have established regular roles with the first team. The first team of Max Allegri now includes Matias Soulé, Samuel Iling-Junior, and Enzo Barrenechea in addition to Nicol Fagioli and Fabio Miretti, who have established themselves as regular starters.
But how does the Old Lady compare to other Serie A clubs in terms of providing young players opportunities?
Juventus ranks sixth on the list, according to ilBianconero, with 2.596 minutes of playing time going to players born after January 1, 2001.

Atlanta, on the other hand, is in first place on the charts with more than 5000 minutes. Rasmus Hojlund, Giorgio Scalvini, and Matteo Ruggeri are all regular starters for Gian Piero Gasperini.
Lecce and Salernitana are in fourth and fifth place, respectively, behind Verona and Udinese, who complete the podium.
Oddly, Napoli, who are currently leading Serie A, is at the bottom of the rankings because Khvicha Kvaratskhelia appears to have been overlooked by the study, presumably because he didn’t progress through the club’s youth divisions.
