A New Era in Turin

The coaching carousel at Juventus may finally have a new face. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Luciano Spalletti is on the verge of signing with the Bianconeri, just days after Igor Tudor was dismissed following a brief seven-month stint in charge.

The Italian coach — who led Napoli to the Serie A title — has been in advanced talks with the Turin club’s management, and his arrival now appears imminent.

Contract Details and Conditions

Spalletti, 65, is reportedly set to accept a contract running until June 2026, with an automatic extension clause if the club qualifies for the Champions League.

According to Italian reports, he has already met with Damien Comolli, Juventus’ general director. The meeting focused more on squad planning than on financial terms, suggesting the deal’s framework is nearly complete.
An official announcement is expected within the next 48 hours, though Juventus have also reached out to Raffaele Palladino as a backup option should talks unexpectedly stall.

A Massive Challenge Ahead

Juventus find themselves in a difficult spot on all fronts. They currently sit eighth in Serie A, far from the dominance that once defined them as Italy’s powerhouse. In the Champions League, things haven’t gone much better: a 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid left them outside the playoff zone.

For Spalletti, this would be a return to the spotlight — and a chance to restore identity, discipline, and ambition to a fallen giant. His tactical brilliance and man-management could spark the rebuild Juventus desperately need.
If confirmed, this appointment won’t just mark a new beginning in Turin — it might be the club’s last big gamble to climb back to Europe’s elite.
