Juventus’ “revolution” officially kicked off with the sacking of Igor Tudor, a decision made following the dismal run that climaxed with the defeat against Lazio. Now, the club is rushing to name a successor, with the hierarchy weighing up a mix of big names and a highly cost-effective option, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport.
While former Italy coach Luciano Spalletti is reportedly ready to take the call—judging the Bianconeri squad suitable for his calcio and eager for a new, difficult challenge—the most intriguing name emerging is Raffaele Palladino.
La Gazzetta dello Sport emphasizes that Palladino represents a “low-cost gamble” for the club. With the club still carrying the contract costs of former managers and their staff, Palladino is the more economically viable choice. Furthermore, he is the name personally put forward by sporting director Modesto, who shares a strong working relationship and a unified vision of football with Palladino from their time together at Monza.
The manager search is moving quickly with the club facing critical upcoming fixtures. Meanwhile, another major name, former Italy boss Roberto Mancini, remains on the list but is considered a more defilato option compared to Spalletti and Palladino.
