🔗 Share this article Juventus Name Ex- Italian National Team Boss the Experienced Gaffer The Serie A powerhouse have chosen ex- Azzurri head coach the veteran manager to lead the team for the rest of the term. The experienced coach takes over from his predecessor, who was dismissed post the Lazio setback last weekend. The former boss came on board in March filling the shoes of Thiago Motta but left after seven months after an eight-game winless streak. 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 with Mancini at the helm. He secured their spot in Euro 2024 where they were knocked out in the last 16 by Switzerland. Nonetheless, Italy dismissed Spalletti in June after a World Cup qualifying defeat by Norway, as Italy faced the possibility of not making a third World Cup in a row. He has previously coached Inter Milan, Roma, and Udinese in Italy's top flight and secured two Russian Premier League titles with Zenit St Petersburg. Massimo Brambilla served as interim manager for Juventus during the 3-1 victory over Udinese on Wednesday which left them seventh in Serie A - six points behind leaders Napoli after nine games. Their Champions League campaign sees them in 25th place in the group stage, after recording one defeat and two ties in the initial three fixtures.
