🚨 BREAKING: Juventus appoint Luciano Spalletti as new coach | OneFootball

Juventus have officially announced Luciano Spalletti as their new head coach.

It comes following the dismissal of Igor Tudor earlier this week in the wake of a defeat to Lazio which left the Old Lady languishing in eighth place in Serie A, while they also occupy the Champions League elimination places after three games.

As a result, former Napoli, Roma and Inter boss Spalletti has taken over on a short-term deal until the end of the campaign.

The contract reportedly contains a clause to trigger an additional year's extension if he secures qualification for the Champions League.

The 66-year-old is coming off the back of a recently unsuccessful spell in charge of the Italy national team.

Despite previously claiming he would never coach another Serie A side after steering Napoli to the Scudetto, he is now back on the bench of yet another Italian giant.
