🔗 Share this article The Bianconeri Name Previous Azzurri Manager the Experienced Gaffer Juventus have named ex- Azzurri head coach Luciano Spalletti to take the helm until the end of the season. The 66-year-old replaces Igor Tudor, who was sacked following the loss to Lazio on Sunday. Tudor arrived at the club in March filling the shoes of Thiago Motta but departed after seven months following a string of eight matches without a victory. Spalletti led Napoli to the Serie A title in 2022-23 prior to assuming the Italy role, who had failed to qualify for 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. However, Spalletti was sacked by Italy in June post a qualifying defeat against Norway, as Italy faced the possibility of not making a third World Cup in a row. He has previously coached Inter Milan, Roma, and Udinese in Italy's top flight and won the Russian Premier League twice with Zenit St Petersburg. Massimo Brambilla took interim charge of Juventus during the 3-1 victory over Udinese on Wednesday which left them seventh in Serie A - six points behind leaders Napoli after nine games. They are 25th in the league phase of the Champions League, after recording one defeat and two ties in the initial three fixtures.
