🔗 Share this article Juventus Appoint Former Italy Boss the Experienced Gaffer Juventus have appointed previous Italian national team boss Spalletti to take the helm until the end of the season. The 66-year-old replaces Igor Tudor, who was dismissed following the loss to Lazio on Sunday. Tudor arrived at the club in March to replace Thiago Motta but left after seven months following a string of eight matches without a victory. Spalletti guided Napoli to the Serie A crown in 2022-23 prior to assuming the Italy role, who had failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup under former boss Roberto Mancini. Under his guidance, they made it to Euro 2024 exiting in the last 16 stage against Switzerland. Nonetheless, Italy dismissed Spalletti 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 has also managed Inter Milan, Roma and Udinese in Serie A and won the Russian Premier League twice with Zenit St Petersburg. Massimo Brambilla served as interim manager for Juventus during the 3-1 victory over Udinese on Wednesday placing them seventh in the Serie A standings - six points adrift of Napoli at the top after nine rounds. In the Champions League, they sit 25th in the league phase, after recording one defeat and two ties in the initial three fixtures.
