Luciano Spalletti Set to Take Charge at Juventus

Going to the Allianz Stadium this week, Juventus are set for a new chapter as Luciano Spalletti prepares to take charge following Igor Tudor’s dismissal. The 66-year-old Italian tactician, who famously led Napoli to the 2023 Scudetto, has agreed to a contract running until June 2026, with an automatic one-year extension if Juventus secure Champions League qualification.

Spalletti is expected to be unveiled after Juve’s clash with Udinese, with his first game on the bench likely against Cremonese. Tudor’s exit came after an eight-match winless streak that left Juventus eighth in Serie A, nine points behind leaders Napoli. Giorgio Chiellini reportedly played a key role in convincing Spalletti to join, seeing his footballing philosophy as a fit for Juve’s long-term project. Known for his tactical intelligence and attacking approach, Spalletti’s immediate challenge is to reignite a struggling squad and push for a top-four finish.
