Juventus Eyeing Simone Inzaghi as Spalletti Faces Pressure
Simone Inzaghi has emerged as a leading candidate to succeed Luciano Spalletti as Juventus coach ahead of the 2027-28 season. Spalletti remains under contract at the Allianz Stadium until 2028 but faces mounting scrutiny after collecting just 11 points from the opening seven matches of the Serie A campaign.

Club directors and ownership are currently maintaining backing for the incumbent coaching staff while ruling out an immediate dismissal. Failure to secure a top-four finish and Champions League qualification would force a swift reassessment of the dugout, positioning contingency options as viable alternatives if results fail to improve over the coming months. Antonio Conte and Stefano Pioli have both been monitored as potential immediate replacements should a mid-season intervention become necessary.
Juventus
clubThe Bianconeri are navigating a congested autumn fixture schedule across domestic and European commitments while trying to recover ground in the Serie A standings. Juventus currently sit with three wins, two draws, and two losses from their opening seven fixtures.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Inzaghi, currently managing Al-Hilal, is favored by decision-makers due to his extensive Italian top-flight experience. The Italian tactician previously guided Inter to the Serie A title in the 2023-24 season, won the Coppa Italia twice, secured three Supercoppa Italiana trophies, and reached the Champions League final twice.
