Warning, Benfica! Juventus have already lined up Igor Tudor’s replacement | OneFootball

Igor Tudor, as is known, is no longer the coach of Juventus, after the Turin club announced the decision yesterday, October 27. Meanwhile, the Italian press reports that the vecchia signora, who will face Benfica in the Champions League, already has a successor in mind: Luciano Spalletti.

According to the Italian press, as quoted by the newspaper A Bola, on the same day they dismissed the Croatian coach, Juventus took the first steps in negotiations with the 66-year-old Italian, who has been out of work since leaving the Italian national team.

A contract valid until the end of the current season, with an automatic renewal until 2027 if the team secures a spot in the Champions League.

The same sources add that, since he left the national team, Luciano Spalletti has turned down approaches from foreign clubs, such as Nottingham Forest and Fenerbahçe, showing a strong inclination to head to Turin. Today, the two parties are expected to meet again to finalize the contract details.

If the deal with the Italian falls through, Roberto Mancini is the most affordable alternative for the Juventus management. For now, the technical command of the bianconeri is in the hands of Massimo Brambilla, the under-23 coach, who will lead the team in the next match against Udinese.
