Luciano Spalletti Agrees to Become New Juventus Manager After Igor Tudor’s Sacking

Juventus are set to usher in a new era under Luciano Spalletti, who has reached a verbal agreement to take over as head coach following the dismissal of Igor Tudor.

According to reports, Spalletti has agreed to a deal running until June 2026, with an option to extend his contract if the club secures a Champions League qualification this season.

Sources close to the negotiation reveal that the formal process is now underway, with lawyers currently reviewing the final contract details before the official signing.

‘‘Luciano Spalletti has agreed to become the new Juventus manager; the deal is in place.

‘‘Verbal agreement until June 2026, plus option to extend based on Champions League spot to reach this season. Formal steps/contracts are being checked by lawyers before signing all documents.’’ Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano wrote on his X page.

Spalletti, who guided Napoli to their first Serie A title in over three decades in 2023, is expected to bring experience and tactical stability to a Juventus side struggling for form.

The appointment marks Juventus’ latest attempt to rebuild and regain dominance after a turbulent spell marked by inconsistency and managerial changes.
