Luciano Spalletti busca ganar el título de la Serie A, ahora con la Juventus en apuros – Chicago Tribune

TURÍN, Italy (AP) — Luciano Spalletti says he can reverse Juventus’ negative dynamic in his short time leading the Italian club, and also make it a contender for the Serie A title.

Spalletti replaced the young Igor Tudor with the deposed one. The former Napoli and Italian team entrepreneur has signed a one-month contract.

Tudor lost the moons between three consecutive errors and a rechall of these parties without winning which took place on September 13. La mala racha finished the martes with a victoria 3-1 before the Udinese under the command of the internal coach Massimo Brambilla.

Spalletti’s first game at hand will be against Cremonese for Serie A on Saturday. Then, Juventus will host Sporting Lisbon in the Liga de Campeones three days later.

Spalletti’s party

“If you don’t believe that this equipment has potential, that it has possibilities, even though you’ve been through difficult times, why did you accept a one-month contract?” Spalletti confirmed to Viernes, during his first press conference as a Juventino entrepreneur.

“So, I think I can do a good job with them. He too is part of that: from the availability to the desire for self-discipline, to achieve important results, and you have the possibility to arrange certain things,” he added.

La Vecchia Signora have not sold out the Serie A side since 2020, as they completed a run of new consecutive titles.

The Turin club is currently north in the rankings, just one point behind leaders Napoli and Roma.

In the Liga de Campeones, Juventus won two parties and lost one, currently in the places of elimination.

“I hope I can return to the quarry for the (Serie A) title,” Spalletti expressed. “Why not? That’s what we discussed with the players themselves. We have to get to the top, and in this case, the top is the quarry for the title.

“He played new parties, from January 29 and therefore he is a montón of parties in the past. He saw all this for more than 30 years in the profession. He had the chance to follow this path here, without seeing what had to conform, alone because he was old”, he added with a response.

Spalletti, 66, is the best known to go to Naples for the Serie A title in 2023. He had a small stage with Italy and was killed in June when the Azzurri got off to a poor start in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

He also trained at Empoli, Sampdoria, Venice, Udinese, Ancona, Roma, Zenit St. Petersburg and Inter Milan.

Spalletti is Juventus’ third full-time coach since Massimiliano Allegri was let go in May 2024. Including internal players, he is the club’s fifth coach during this period.

Thiago Motta was dropped by Juventus in March and replaced by Tudor, who helped the club secure a place in the Liga de Campeones with a four-pointer from last season.

‘The path to follow’

Italian mediators inform the youngsters that Spalletti’s contract will be automatically renewed for another two years if Juventus places in the Liga de Campeones.

Without embargo, Juventus general manager Damien Jacques Comolli explained that the renovation is not automatic, but that the club has the option to extend for another year if it wishes.

“There is also a moral conscience and we are discussing with Luciano that… we are potentially collaborating on a big place, it is surely something that we want to have on the club side,” he indicated. “And we feel that we have left, Luciano and nosotros, we feel that the announcement was correct and we can then decide on the path to follow during the period.”
