Luciano Spalletti (Juventus)
October 2025

Juventus appointed Luciano Spalletti after dismissing Igor Tudor, ending an eight-game winless slide. Interim Massimo Brambilla oversaw a 3-1 win over Udinese before the announcement. Sitting seventh but three points off third, Juve seek stability and attacking fluency as Spalletti returns to club management following his stint with Italy duty. Spalletti will prioritise compact mid-block spacing, quicker vertical connections into Vlahović, and clearer roles for Chiesa and Yildiz. Expect rotation to reset legs, phased build-up tweaks, and set-piece emphasis to unlock tight games. Early targets: defensive concessions under one per match and Champions League qualification momentum by December at least.
