Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has vowed to kickstart his side's season following a poor start to the campaign.
The Serie A champions have lost their opening two league matches to Udinese and Roma having sold key players such as Arturo Vidal and Carlos Tevez over the summer.
Allegri has added ten new faces to his squad in a bid to offset their departures, and the former Milan boss Allegri feels his side will show improvements against Chievo now that they are bedded in.
"We don’t know where we can go, or what our margin for improvement is. Our season starts this week," he told reporters.
“Chievo? My second adventure with Juventus begins with them. This will be a busy month between the League and the Champions League. We have to work.
“There’s no such thing as a transitional year at a big club. The squad has excellent quality, but with 10 new players it’s normal that it takes some time."
Roma, Inter and Milan have all strengthened their squads considerably over the summer as they look to deny Juve their fifth Serie A title in a row.
And Allegri is under no illusions that he will find it tough during his second season in Turin and that his side has no right to victory.
"I’m thinking positively, and I don’t see any reason to do otherwise. We have all the potential to do well.
“Winning is never guaranteed, under any circumstances. Our opponents have strengthened, and we need to prove ourselves.”
