Spalletti & Juventus set for decisive contract meeting – Figures revealed | OneFootball

Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti is one step away from signing a contract extension, as an imminent meeting could finally unlock the deal.

The 67-year-old joined the club on a short-term contract in late October, taking over from Igor Tudor, who paid the price for the club’s poor start to the season.

Since the Tuscan manager’s arrival, the Bianconeri have had their highs and lows, but the improvement in terms of results and performances is undeniable.

Therefore, everyone at the club is hellbent on keeping Spalletti beyond the current campaign.

In recent weeks, Juventus and Spalletti began discussing the terms of a new contract, and it appears that an accord is just around the corner.

According to Tuttosport, the white smoke could emerge this week once the head coach meets with Juventus Director of Football Strategy Giorgio Chiellini.

The legendary defender has been playing an essential role in the negotiations, and he’s expected to return to Turin this week following a mission abroad, followed by a FIGC summit in Rome.
