The 2018–19 season was the 1st season of Juventus U23 and the club's first consecutive season in the Serie C, the third level of Italian football. Mauro Zironelli was entrusted with coaching the reserve team for their debut. Juventus U23's first-ever match came on 21 August 2018 in a Coppa Italia Serie C match won against Cuneo 1–0 with Luca Zanimacchia scoring their first goal in their history. Five days later, Juventus U23 were eliminated from the Coppa Italia Serie C following a 2–2 with newly-promoted Albissola despite late goals from former Arsenal player Stephy Mavididi and Primavera product Marco Olivieri. Juventus U23's league debut took place on 16 September with a 1–2 loss to Alessandria: Claudio Zappa scored their first league goal after catching a rebound from a failed penalty kick. Owing to a disappointing 12th place in the league table, Zironelli was sacked at the end of the season.
