An experienced coach experienced in the demands of Serie A: this was the composite portrait drawn up by the management of Juventus Turin after the dismissal of Igor Tudor this week. Quickly, Luciano Spalletti’s profile surfaced. Having passed through the benches of Empoli, Sampdoria, Venice, Udinese, Ancona, AS Roma, Inter Milan and therefore Naples, the 66-year-old technician had been free since June and the dismissal from his position as Italy coach.
With everything that Juventus Turin represents, he therefore took the gamble of putting the club back on the saddle, currently 7th in Serie A, six points behind leader Naples, and 25th in the C1 League phase. “If I didn’t believe in the potential of this team, why would I have accepted an eight-month contract? I think I can do a good job here. We have to try to get back into the Champions League, and for now, we have to do everything to get back on track, because the other teams are on the rise.”he confided this Friday at a press conference. His contract should be automatically renewed in the event of qualification for C1 next season.
