🔗 Share this article The Bianconeri Bring In Ex- Italian National Team Head Coach Spalletti The Old Lady have appointed ex- Azzurri manager the veteran manager to take the helm for the rest of the term. The 66-year-old takes over from the Croatian manager, who was sacked following the loss to Lazio recently. Tudor arrived at the club in March filling the shoes of Thiago Motta but left after seven months following a string of eight matches without a victory. Spalletti guided Napoli to the Serie A crown in 2022-23 before taking charge of Italy, after the team's failure to reach the 2022 World Cup under former boss Roberto Mancini. He secured their spot in Euro 2024 where they were knocked out in the last 16 by Switzerland. Yet, the Italian FA let Spalletti go in June after a World Cup qualifying defeat by Norway, putting Italy in danger of missing a third straight World Cup. Spalletti has also managed Inter Milan, Roma and Udinese in Serie A and won the Russian Premier League twice with Zenit St Petersburg. Massimo Brambilla took interim charge of Juventus during the 3-1 victory over Udinese on Wednesday moving them to seventh position in the league - six points adrift of Napoli at the top after nine rounds. In the Champions League, they sit 25th in the league phase, with one loss and two draws in their first three games.
