Juventus Appoint Former Italian National Team Manager Spalletti
The Serie A powerhouse have appointed former Azzurri boss Spalletti to take the helm until the end of the season.
The experienced coach steps in for Igor Tudor, who was let go post the Lazio setback last weekend.
The former boss came on board in March filling the shoes of Thiago Motta but departed after seven months at the end of an eight-match winless run.
Spalletti guided Napoli to the Serie A crown in 2022-23 then moving on to lead the Italian national team, after the team's failure to reach the 2022 World Cup under former boss Roberto Mancini.
He secured their spot in Euro 2024 but were eliminated in the round of 16 by Switzerland.
Yet, the Italian FA let Spalletti go in June after a World Cup qualifying defeat by Norway, putting Italy in danger of missing a third straight World Cup.
He has previously coached Inter Milan, Roma, and Udinese in Italy's top flight and lifted the Russian league trophy twice while at Zenit St Petersburg.
Massimo Brambilla served as interim manager for Juventus for their 3-1 win against Udinese on Wednesday placing them seventh in the Serie A standings - six points behind leaders Napoli after nine games.
In the Champions League, they sit 25th in the league phase, having lost once and drawn twice in their opening three matches.
