🔗 Share this article The Bianconeri Appoint Former Azzurri Manager the Experienced Gaffer The Old Lady have named ex- Azzurri head coach Spalletti to lead the team for the remainder of the campaign. The experienced coach takes over from Igor Tudor, who was let go after the Serie A side's defeat by Lazio recently. Tudor arrived at the club in March as Thiago Motta's replacement but left after seven months after an eight-game winless streak. Spalletti guided Napoli to the Serie A crown in 2022-23 before taking charge of Italy, 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. Yet, the Italian FA let Spalletti go in June after a World Cup qualifying defeat by Norway, putting Italy in danger of missing a third straight World Cup. 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 took interim charge of Juventus in the midweek 3-1 triumph over Udinese 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, having lost once and drawn twice in their opening three matches.
