🔗 Share this article Juventus Name Former Azzurri Boss Spalletti The Serie A powerhouse have appointed previous Azzurri head coach the veteran manager as their manager for the remainder of the campaign. The 66-year-old replaces the Croatian manager, who was let go post the Lazio setback last weekend. Tudor had joined the club in March as Thiago Motta's replacement but exited following a seven-month stint following a string of eight matches without a victory. Spalletti led Napoli to the Serie A title in 2022-23 then moving on to lead the Italian national team, after the team's failure to reach the 2022 World Cup with Mancini at the helm. He helped them qualify for 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. 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 adrift of Napoli at the top after nine rounds. They are 25th in the league phase of the Champions League, having lost once and drawn twice in their opening three matches.
