Juventus Names Luciano Spalletti Head Coach on Deal Through June 2026

His brief centers on securing Champions League qualification to steady a club still recovering from financial scandal.

Overview

  • The 66-year-old replaces Igor Tudor after an eight-match winless run, following a single interim win under Massimo Brambilla.
  • Spalletti’s first game is against Cremonese, with Juventus sitting seventh in Serie A after their first victory since mid-September.
  • Club statements and reporting indicate incentives linked to Champions League qualification, with the possibility of a longer tenure if he meets that goal.
  • Juventus reported €58 million in losses last season and is still dealing with the aftermath of board resignations, a 10-point deduction and FIGC sanctions involving former chairman Andrea Agnelli.
  • The former Napoli title winner returns to club management months after his Italy stint ended following a poor Euro 2024 defense and a heavy qualifying defeat.
