Juventus Appoint Former Azzurri Boss Luciano Spalletti
The Serie A powerhouse have named ex- Azzurri boss Luciano Spalletti to lead the team for the remainder of the campaign.
The experienced coach replaces his predecessor, who was dismissed after the Serie A side's defeat by Lazio on Sunday.
The former boss came on board in March filling the shoes of Thiago Motta but departed after seven months after an eight-game winless streak.
Spalletti led Napoli to the Serie A title in 2022-23 before taking charge of Italy, which missed out on the 2022 World Cup with Mancini at the helm.
He secured their spot in Euro 2024 but were eliminated in the round of 16 by Switzerland.
Nonetheless, Italy dismissed Spalletti in June post a qualifying defeat against Norway, as Italy faced the possibility of not making a third World Cup in a row.
Spalletti's managerial career includes Inter Milan, Roma, and Udinese in Serie A and lifted the Russian league trophy twice while at Zenit St Petersburg.
Massimo Brambilla served as interim manager for Juventus for their 3-1 win against Udinese on Wednesday placing them seventh in the Serie A standings - six points behind leaders Napoli after nine games.
In the Champions League, they sit 25th in the league phase, having lost once and drawn twice in their opening three matches.
