Rome, Oct 31 (UNI) Juventus has named Luciano Spalletti as its new head coach, with the former Napoli boss signing a contract through the end of the 2025-26 season.

The 66-year-old replaces Igor Tudor, who stepped down earlier this week after the Serie A giant endured an eight-match winless run.

Born in Certaldo, Spalletti began his coaching career in the 1990s after a modest playing spell with clubs including Spezia and Empoli. He rose to prominence with Udinese in the early 2000s, guiding the club to three straight European campaigns and its first-ever Champions League qualification in 2004-05.

Spalletti later enjoyed success with Roma, winning two Coppa Italia titles and a Supercoppa Italiana, before famously leading Napoli to its first Serie A championship in 33 years in 2023.
