Overview
- Juventus announced Spalletti’s appointment on Thursday with a contract running until June 30, 2026.
- He is set to lead his first match on Saturday away to Cremonese in Serie A.
- Tudor was sacked seven months after his March 2025 hire following a third defeat in eight days, with Massimo Brambilla overseeing Wednesday’s 3-1 win against Udinese.
- Club reporting indicates Juventus prioritized out-of-contract candidates to avoid paying compensation, weighing Raffaele Palladino and Roberto Mancini before selecting Spalletti.
- Squad concerns persist as winger Edon Zhegrova remains limited by recurring adductor and pubis pain, having managed only brief substitute appearances since joining.
