Luciano Spalletti is highly regarded within the Juventus management, and the prestigious Italian club will seek to renew his contract, which expires at the end of the current season, to keep him for at least two more years.
Spalletti took over as Juventus coach from Igor Tudor, and after a promising start, the team’s performance dipped in the final month, culminating in their elimination from the Champions League Round of 16 at the hands of Galatasaray.
This early exit from the competition seemed to suggest that Spalletti might leave at the end of the season, but Sky Italia reports otherwise.
Renewing Spalletti’s contract has become a top priority for the Juventus management. Officials believe he is the best choice to lead the club’s project in the coming years, and that he has been working under difficult circumstances this season, yet things have remained relatively stable with him.
In the coming days, the Juventus management will meet with the experienced coach to finalize the new contract, promising a major overhaul next summer, hoping that Spalletti can return the Old Lady to the top of European football.
It is worth noting that Juventus, along with Spalletti, occupies fifth place in the Italian league standings with 46 points, and is still competing for the Italian Cup title, where they will face Como in the semi-finals.
