Juventus Bring In Previous Azzurri Manager Spalletti
The Serie A powerhouse have chosen former Azzurri head coach Spalletti as their manager for the rest of the term.
Spalletti replaces Igor Tudor, who was dismissed following the loss to Lazio last weekend.
Tudor had joined the club in March as Thiago Motta's replacement but departed after seven months following a string of eight matches without a victory.
Spalletti guided Napoli to the Serie A crown in 2022-23 prior to assuming the Italy role, who had failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup with Mancini at the helm.
Under his guidance, they made it to Euro 2024 where they were knocked out in the last 16 by Switzerland.
Yet, the Italian FA let Spalletti go in June post a qualifying defeat against Norway, with the Azzurri at risk of missing out on a third consecutive World Cup.
He has previously coached Inter Milan, Roma, and Udinese in Italy's top flight and lifted the Russian league trophy twice while at Zenit St Petersburg.
Massimo Brambilla served as interim manager for 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, having lost once and drawn twice in their opening three matches.
