🔗 Share this article Juventus Bring In Former Azzurri Manager Spalletti The Old Lady have appointed former Italian national team boss Spalletti to take the helm for the remainder of the campaign. The experienced coach takes over from Igor Tudor, who was dismissed post the Lazio setback recently. Tudor arrived at the club in March to replace Thiago Motta but departed after seven months following a string of eight matches without a victory. Under Spalletti, Napoli clinched the Serie A championship in 2022-23 prior to assuming the Italy role, which missed out on the 2022 World Cup with Mancini at the helm. He helped them qualify for Euro 2024 exiting in the last 16 stage against Switzerland. Yet, the Italian FA let Spalletti go in June after a World Cup qualifying defeat by Norway, as Italy faced the possibility of not making a third World Cup in a row. Spalletti's managerial career includes Inter Milan, Roma, and Udinese in Serie A and secured two Russian Premier League titles with Zenit St Petersburg. Massimo Brambilla served as interim manager for Juventus for their 3-1 win against Udinese on Wednesday which left them seventh in Serie A - trailing leaders Napoli by six points after nine matches. They are 25th in the league phase of the Champions League, having lost once and drawn twice in their opening three matches.
