🔗 Share this article Juventus Name Ex- Italian National Team Manager the Experienced Gaffer Juventus have appointed previous Italy head coach Spalletti to lead the team for the rest of the term. Spalletti replaces Igor Tudor, who was sacked following the loss to Lazio last weekend. Tudor had joined the club in March to replace Thiago Motta but exited following a seven-month stint at the end of an eight-match winless run. Spalletti led Napoli to the Serie A title in 2022-23 prior to assuming the Italy role, who had failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup with Mancini at the helm. He helped them qualify for Euro 2024 where they were knocked out in the last 16 by Switzerland. Yet, the Italian FA let Spalletti go in June post a qualifying defeat against Norway, as Italy faced the possibility of not making a third World Cup in a row. He has previously coached Inter Milan, Roma, and Udinese in Italy's top flight and secured two Russian Premier League titles with Zenit St Petersburg. Massimo Brambilla served as interim manager for Juventus in the midweek 3-1 triumph over Udinese which left them seventh in Serie A - six points adrift of Napoli at the top after nine rounds. They are 25th in the league phase of the Champions League, after recording one defeat and two ties in the initial three fixtures.
