"Juventus have appointed former Italy head coach Luciano Spalletti as their manager until the end of the season. The 66-year-old replaces Igor Tudor, who was sacked after the Serie A side's defeat by Lazio on Sunday. Tudor had joined the club in March as Thiago Motta's replacement but left after seven months at the end of an eight-match winless run."
"Spalletti led Napoli to the Serie A title in 2022-23 before taking charge of Italy, who had failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup under former boss Roberto Mancini. He helped them qualify for Euro 2024 where they were knocked out in the last 16 by Switzerland. However, Spalletti was sacked by Italy in June after a World Cup qualifying defeat by Norway, with the Azzurri at risk of missing out on a third consecutive World Cup."
Luciano Spalletti has been appointed Juventus manager until the end of the season after Igor Tudor was sacked following a defeat by Lazio and an eight-match winless run. Tudor had joined in March as Thiago Motta's replacement and departed after seven months. Spalletti won the 2022-23 Serie A with Napoli, then managed Italy to Euro 2024 qualification before a last-16 exit to Switzerland and was dismissed after a World Cup qualifying defeat by Norway. Spalletti has also managed Inter, Roma and Udinese and won two Russian Premier League titles with Zenit. Juventus sit seventh in Serie A and have struggled in the Champions League.
