Luciano Spalletti Set to Lead Juventus: A New Era for the Club

Juventus FC, one of Italy's premier football clubs, has reportedly selected Luciano Spalletti as their new head coach, according to Italian media reports. The announcement is expected either late Wednesday or on Thursday. This decision follows the club's dismissal of Igor Tudor, who failed to secure a win in their last eight matches across all competitions.

While Juventus officials have not confirmed the appointment, Spalletti, the former head coach of the Italian national team, expressed his eagerness to return to coaching. He stated on Tuesday that although he hasn't been formally approached, he would be thrilled to lead Juventus.

Reports suggest that a formal announcement could be made after Juventus's match against Udinese, scheduled for 1730 GMT on Wednesday. Spalletti attended an event in Milan where he spoke about his desire for a new managerial opportunity.
