Juventus and coach Luciano Spalletti are reportedly close to agreeing a new contract that would keep him at the club until June 2027, with an option to extend for another season. Negotiations have been ongoing for several weeks and appear to be in their final stages.
What the proposed deal would include
The new agreement is said to run until June 2027 and would include an option for an additional campaign. Spalletti originally joined Juventus at the end of October on a short-term contract that lasted until the end of the season.
Why Juventus are moving quickly
Juventus have shown clear signs of improvement since Spalletti arrived on October 30. He has recorded 16 wins from 29 matches in charge, a record that has convinced club leaders to push for a longer commitment.
League form in context
- Since Spalletti's appointment, Juventus have collected 38 points in Serie A.
- Only Inter with 50 points and Milan with 42 points have earned more in that span.
- At the moment, Juventus sit fifth in the table, one point behind fourth-placed Como.
Next steps
Talks reportedly began weeks ago and now look close to completion. If the paperwork is signed, Spalletti will move from a short-term fix to a multi-year project at Juventus, reflecting the club's confidence in his recent results.
Short, direct, and slightly relieved: Juventus appear ready to make Spalletti their coach for the medium term.
