Juventus announced the appointment of Spaletti on the 31st (Korea time). Spaletti has decided to lead Juventus until June 2026, the end of this season. It is reported that Juventus has also agreed on an option to extend its contract if it wins a ticket to the European Champions League (UCL).
Juventus replaced Igor Tudor after losing 0-1 in the eighth round of Serie A against Lazio on the 27th. Tudor led Juventus in place of Thiago Mota in March, but left the team for the first time in seven months after falling into a swamp of winless wins (five draws and three losses) in the last eight consecutive games.
Coach Spaletti led Napoli's first Scudetto (winning Serie A) in 33 years in the 2022-2023 season, when Kim Min-jae was recruited. Kim Min-jae grew up as a 'Walkl' centre-back and moved to Bayern after one season.
Spalletti broke up with Napoli despite being the winning coach. Roberto Mancini was appointed as the coach of the Italian national team in September 2023 after failing to advance to the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
He led his team to the Euro 2024 finals, but was eliminated after losing to Switzerland in the round of 16. In June, he was fired as the coach of the Italian national team after losing to Norway in the 2026 North-China World Cup in Europe. Italy is on the verge of failing to advance to the World Cup finals for the third consecutive time.
Spaletti has led Inter Milan, AS Roma and Udinese in Serie A. Juventus won 3-1 against Udinese on the 30th with Masimo Brambila taking the temporary helm. Juventus, which escaped winless for eight consecutive games, was ranked seventh (15 points) in Serie A. There is a six-point gap with Napoli (21 points).
Juventus has two draws and one loss in the UCL league phase this season. Rumors of Kim Min-jae's transfer to Juventus are constantly being raised. As Spaletti returns, interest is expected to grow.
