Juventus is moving quickly in its search for a new coach, after deciding to dismiss Igor Tudor. The leading candidate appears to be Luciano Spalletti, with negotiations now entering a crucial phase. This evening, contacts have intensified, and as reported by Gianluca Di Marzio, contractual details are being discussed. The former National Team coach could therefore soon return to the bench.

Juventus, Spalletti in pole position for the bench: intensified contacts between the parties

Luciano Spalletti is the number one candidate to take over from Igor Tudor on the Juventus bench. The former Napoli coach is on the short list of candidates to become the new Juventus manager. The other names are Roberto Mancini and Raffaele Palladino. However, negotiations with the coach from Certaldo are heating up. As reported by Gianluca Di Marzio, the parties discussed contractual details this evening. The agreement is heading towards a contract until June 2026, with an automatic renewal in case of qualification for the Champions League. It still remains to be decided whether the renewal will be for one or two years.

It is not ruled out that tomorrow there could be a face-to-face meeting between Spalletti and the Juventus management, who aim to have their new coach in place by November 1st, when the Bianconeri face Cremonese. In Wednesday’s match against Udinese, in fact, the Next Gen coach, Massimo Brambilla, will be on the bench. Luciano Spalletti had also been approached by other clubs, all foreign, with some offers from Saudi Arabia as well, but none of the negotiations ever progressed.

Let’s remember that Spalletti won his first Serie A title three seasons ago, at the helm of Napoli, making all football lovers fall in love with his style of play. This earned him the call from the National Team, which, however, did not go well, first at the Euros and then in the following matches. Now, the former Roma coach is eager for redemption, and a stage like Turin could be, yes, risky, but also the perfect fit for a football master like him.
