🔗 Share this article Juventus Name Ex- Azzurri Manager Luciano Spalletti The Serie A powerhouse have chosen ex- Italy boss the veteran manager as their manager for the remainder of the campaign. The 66-year-old replaces his predecessor, who was sacked after the Serie A side's defeat by Lazio recently. Tudor had joined the club in March filling the shoes of Thiago Motta but exited following a seven-month stint following a string of eight matches without a victory. Under Spalletti, Napoli clinched the Serie A championship 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 where they were knocked out in the last 16 by Switzerland. However, Spalletti was sacked by Italy in June after a World Cup qualifying defeat by Norway, putting Italy in danger of missing a third straight World Cup. Spalletti has also managed Inter Milan, Roma and Udinese in Serie A and secured two Russian Premier League titles with Zenit St Petersburg. Massimo Brambilla served as interim manager for Juventus during the 3-1 victory over Udinese on Wednesday moving them to seventh position in the league - six points behind leaders Napoli after nine games. They are 25th in the league phase of the Champions League, with one loss and two draws in their first three games.
