Juventus unveil new boss before Champions League tie with Sporting | OneFootball

Juventus defeated Cremonese 2-1 in the 10th round of Serie A. The Turin club has not had an easy start to the 2025/26 season, but returned to winning ways in this Italian league match, played at home.

First, it’s worth highlighting the debut of Juventus’ new head coach. Luciano Spalletti, the Italian manager who won Serie A with Napoli, replaced Igor Tudor on the Turin club’s bench, and took charge for his first game just before the match against Sporting in the Champions League.

And the truth is that Luciano Spalletti’s adventure at the helm of Juventus couldn’t have started better, as he saw Kostic put the Turin side ahead just two minutes into the game, in a match that did not feature any players with a Sporting background on either team.

In the second half, Juventus doubled their lead through Cambiasso in the 68th minute. Cremonese still managed to threaten, with Jamie Vardy reducing the deficit to 2-1 for the home side. However, there were no more goals in the match and all three points stayed in Turin.

Juventus climbed to fifth place in Serie A, with 18 points from 10 matches. In their next game, they face Sporting in the Champions League, something that Rui Borges recently had the chance to comment on.
