Former Napoli and Italy boss Luciano Spalletti was confirmed as Juventus' new head coach on Thursday, replacing the fired Igor Tudor.
Spalletti has signed an agreement with the record 36-time Serie A champions through to the end of the current season, Juventus said.
According to reports in Italy, the agreement comes with an automatic renewal if the team qualify for the Champions League.
"We are delighted to welcome a coach with such expertise and experience to the Bianconeri family: welcome to Juventus and good luck, coach!" Juventus said in a statement.
Tudor was fired on Monday following three straight losses and an eight-match winless run that dated to Sept. 13. The unfortunate run was ended on Wednesday after a 3-1 win over Udinese under interim coach Massimo Brambilla.
Spalletti, who will hold his first news conference on Friday, becomes Juventus' third full-time coach since Massimiliano Allegri was fired in May 2024. Including caretakers, he is the club's fifth coach in that span.
Thiago Motta was fired by Juventus in March and replaced by Tudor, who helped the club secure Italy's last Champions League spot with a fourth -place finish last season.
Juventus haven't won Serie A since 2020 when they concluded a run of nine straight titles.
The club are seventh in the standings, six points behind leaders Napoli and Roma.
In the Champions League, Juventus have drawn two and lost one and sit in the elimination places.
The 66-year-old Spalletti is best known for leading Napoli to the Serie A title in 2023. Then he had an unsuccessful run with Italy and was fired in June when the Azzurri got off to a poor start in World Cup qualifying.
Spalletti has also coached Empoli, Sampdoria, Venezia, Udinese, Ancona, Roma, Zenit St. Petersburg and Inter Milan.
At Juventus, Spalletti joins his son, Federico, who is a scout for the club.
Spalletti is set to make his debut at Cremonese in Serie A on Saturday. Juventus then host Sporting CP in the Champions League three days later.
