Delneri left his job at Sampdoria to sign for Juventus in May 2010, with the idea to establish a team with a defined identity and style of play. His time at Juventus was tumultuous, with the team going through a number of different phases of form through the course of the 2010-11 season.

They began with a poor run of results at the start of the season in the Serie A, before recovering by the end of the winter break to 3rd in the league table. There came another run of poor results, however, as Juve lost 7 of its first 11 games in the new year.

Delneri finished 50 games in the season for Juventus with a win rate of 40%, winning only 20 of his games and drawing 19 – this was the worst output of any manager lasting a full season with Juventus in the decade. He was duly sacked at the end of the season, as Antonio Conte replaced him at the helm.
