In the early morning of October 31, Serie A giant Juventus officially announced that it has officially appointed former Roma, Inter Milan, and Naples coach Spalletti as the team's new coach; the two parties will sign a contract until June next year with an annual salary of 3 million euros; once they can lead the Bianconeri to win a Champions League seat next season, both parties will directly trigger the option to renew the contract until 2027.

As the team that has won the most league championships in the history of Serie A, Juventus has experienced a significant decline in strength after completing an unprecedented 9 consecutive Serie A championships; in the past 5 years, the duo of Inter Milan and Naples have shared 5 league championships. Although Juventus has signed many players over the years, its overall strength has never recovered; Motta had high hopes in the summer window last year, but he was dismissed in a hurry after half a season. Tudor was appointed as the successor at a critical moment and struggled to win a Champions League spot; originally the Croatian coach was regarded as a temporary transition; but after the end of the season, Tudor was awarded a contract extension by Juventus.

This summer window, Juventus continued to spend heavily to strengthen the team. At the beginning of the season, they started with 3 consecutive wins and defeated Inter Milan in the El Clasico. However, after that, Juventus ushered in an embarrassing 5 consecutive draws. In the past 3 games, Juventus lost to Como, Real Madrid and Lazio. Not only did they not win in 8 rounds, but they also suffered a terrible 3 consecutive losses. Ranked 7th in the league, 6 points behind Napoli, and ranked in the knockout zone of the Champions League; Tudor was dismissed as a result; Juventus immediately started a coaching process; between Palladino and Spalletti, Juventus chose the latter as the new coach candidate.

The 66-year-old Spalletti began coaching the first team as early as 1999. While coaching Udinese, he helped the team qualify for the first Champions League in history in the 2004-05 season; he also led the team to qualify for the European Cup three times. While coaching Roma, he won 2 Italian Cups and 1 Italian Super Cup; he won 2 league championships with Zenit. His most outstanding season was naturally the 22-23 season when he led Napoli to win the Serie A championship after 33 years; and when he was coaching Inter Milan, he also brought the Nerazzurri back to the Champions League. However, while coaching the Italian national team, Spalletti had poor performance. As the defending champion, he participated in last year's European Cup, but was eliminated by Switzerland in the round of 16.

However, there are still many fans in the outside world who are not optimistic about Spalletti's prospects at Juventus. After all, after so many years of coaching, the bald head coach has really not achieved many results; not to mention the waste of a European Cup in Italy. However, Spalletti is familiar with Serie A and will not make drastic changes to the lineup immediately. It is the best choice to maintain the status quo of the players and improve their combat effectiveness. His shortcoming is also that his playing style is conservative, and it is generally difficult to get a chance in a strong dialogue. Points are guaranteed for mid- and lower-tier teams; fortunately, the lower limit is guaranteed and will not be worse than Tudor. Juventus has given some patience and still has a chance to compete for fourth place and qualify for the Champions League next season.
