Juventus: Spalletti leads race to replace Tudor, Palladino a gamble | OneFootball

Juventus is ready to turn the page after the dismissal of Igor Tudor, forced to leave the bench due to disappointing results and a team still searching for identity.

Juventus, who will replace Tudor? Spalletti in pole position, Palladino as a low-cost gamble

The future of the Bianconeri now depends on the names circulating with more insistence: Luciano Spalletti and Raffaele Palladino, with Roberto Mancini more on the sidelines.

Spalletti, the experienced profile ready to restart with Juventus

According to the latest rumors, Luciano Spalletti would be available to lead Juventus should the call come from Continassa. The former Italian national team coach has turned down other offers from abroad, considering this not the right time to move to Turkey or Arabia, but would accept without hesitation the challenge of getting a club with a structure and squad deemed suitable for his style of football back on track.

Spalletti sees in Juventus the opportunity to fix what isn't working within the team, considering it a complex but stimulating mission. His experience, knowledge of Italian football, and ability to manage big clubs make him the main candidate for the post-Tudor era.

Palladino, the young and low-cost gamble

Alongside the name of the Tuscan coach, sporting director Modesto has pointed to Raffaele Palladino, current head coach of AC Monza, as a more economical and forward-looking solution. The bond between Palladino and Modesto, developed at Monza, and the sharing of a common vision of football make the former Viola a concrete candidate for a temporary or more structured role.

While representing a less experienced choice compared to Spalletti, Palladino could bring new energy and reduced costs, particularly useful for Juventus, still bound by heavy contracts from the Tudor era and the previous staff.

The Bianconeri's schedule and the urgency to choose

The name of the new coach should emerge in the coming hours. Juventus will face Udinese, Cremonese, and Sporting Lisbon between the league and the Champions League, decisive matches for the continuation of the season. The choice of coach will be crucial not to compromise the European journey and to provide stability to the team in the short term.
