Former Italy national team coach Luciano Spalletti has finalized an agreement with Juventus to take over as head coach, succeeding Igor Tudor, who was recently dismissed following a series of poor results.
According to the well-known Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Spalletti has accepted the offer to manage Juventus, with an agreement already reached between both parties.
Romano added that the verbal agreement extends until June 2026, with an option for renewal should Juventus qualify for the UEFA Champions League this season.
Romano also confirmed that the official steps and contracts are currently being reviewed by the club’s legal team before the final signing of documents.
