Juve-Spalletti: club to decide on new deal if UCL secured | OneFootball

Luciano Spalletti officially joins Juventus: 8-month contract. In case of Champions League qualification, the renewal is not automatic but the option belongs to the club

Juve-Spalletti, in case of Champions League, the club will decide on the renewal

The arrival of Luciano Spalletti on the Juventus bench became official yesterday, and although the time to prepare for tomorrow night's debut against Cremonese is limited, the coach's desire to start with a show of strength is evident. The crucial point of Spalletti's contract, signed until June 30, 2026, and therefore for eight months, is linked to Champions League qualification but with a substantial difference compared to what had leaked in recent hours.

Juventus, Spalletti's first words in black and white: “Naples will always remain in my heart, something beyond football emerged there”

Spalletti-Juve renewal: not automatic, but a unilateral option for the club

Contrary to initial rumors that spoke of an automatic renewal in case of European qualification, the contractual reality – according to La Repubblica and La Stampa – is different: in case of a fourth place (or better), Juventus will have a unilateral option to decide whether to extend the agreement for two seasons.

Spalletti's ambitions: total confidence in his work

This contractual formula, which ties the future solely to results and leaves the final decision to the club, is a clear signal of Luciano Spalletti's ambitions and his total confidence in the work he will do from now until June. Accepting that the renewal is not automatic shows that the coach did not need to impose long-term guarantees, fully trusting in his ability to achieve the Champions League goal and, consequently, to deserve the continuation of the relationship.
