McKennie: “Spalletti Is Unique, I’ve Never Had a Coach Like Him” – The American Midfielder Praises Juventus Boss After Parma Win

Weston McKennie continues to establish himself as one of Juventus’ most influential players, finding the net once again in the victory over Parma. The American midfielder played a central role in the Bianconeri’s latest success and, after the match, spoke to DAZN about his growing confidence and the impact of manager Luciano Spalletti.

On His Goal Celebration

McKennie explained the now‑familiar free‑kick routine that led to his celebration:

“We practise the wall movement in training – when the ball is shifted, that’s exactly how we do it. That’s what happened tonight.”

On Spalletti’s Influence

The Texan didn’t hold back when discussing his admiration for Spalletti and the atmosphere within the current Juventus squad:

“Spalletti is unique. I’ve never had a coach like him in my career – he’s incredible, a great manager both tactically and in handling the group. I’m really happy to work with him, and everyone in the team feels the same. Is this the best Juve I’ve played in? Yes.”
