Juventus Appoints Luciano Spalletti as Head Coach on Short-Term Deal

The 66-year-old signs through season end to steady results toward a Champions League return.

Overview

  • Juventus announced Spalletti’s hiring on October 30, confirming a contract running to the end of the season.
  • He takes over from interim Massimo Brambilla after Igor Tudor was dismissed earlier in the week.
  • Local reporting says the agreement includes an automatic renewal if the club qualifies for next season’s Champions League.
  • The team sits outside the European places after an inconsistent start, with Spalletti set for his first match on Saturday and Champions League fixtures looming, including against Sporting.
  • Spalletti arrives after leaving the Italy job in June and brings a résumé that includes Napoli’s 2022–23 Serie A title plus domestic and Russian honors with Roma and Zenit.
