Spalletti Returns to Football with Juventus After Italy Flop
Spalletti takes over after Juventus' eight-match winless streak, aiming to close a six-point gap to Serie A leaders Napoli and secure Champions League qualification.
- On Thursday, Luciano Spalletti was appointed Juventus coach until the season's end following Igor Tudor's dismissal after an eight-match winless streak, accepting a short-term deal to rescue the struggling side.
- Amid financial turmoil, Juventus posted losses of 58 million euros last season after mass boardroom resignations and a financial scandal that led to a 10-point deduction.
- Speaking to reporters, Spalletti said, 'I hope to be able to get back into the Scudetto race, why not?' and discussed that ambition with the players in the dressing room.
- Juventus have given Spalletti until the end of the season to secure Champions League qualification, with his contract running until June 30 next year; his first match is away to Cremonese on Saturday.
- The appointment marks a swift return to club management for Luciano Spalletti after a difficult time with the Italy national team and on what would have been Diego Maradona's 65th birthday, drawing on over 30 years of coaching experience.
