The irony of fate: Juventu's two main coach candidates during the summer currently lead in Serbia A.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juvenus leaders are expected today to hold talks with Luciano Spalletti, while the club seeks Tudor's replacement following disappointing results.

The Croatian was named in March 2025 instead of Theago Motta and managed to qualify the team to the Champions League. Hence, he also remained in office for the new season, even in June signing his contract until 2027.

However, the board had considered other options before renovations, reports Telegraph, broadcast Periscope.

Juventus requested Conten and Gasperini

In May, Juventu's absolute priority was Antonio Cte, former midfielder and club coach. Then sports director Cristiano Giuntoli had contacted Naples coach, but Cite decided to stay in “The Stadio Maradona” after winning the title champion.

Giuntoli had tried to bring Conten even before naming Tudor, aiming for a deal for the 2025/26 season. In addition, he had contacted Gian Piero Gasperini, who was then preparing to leave Atalanta and had no agreement with Rome.

Gasperini chose Rome, not Juvenus

Naples managed to hold Conten, and Giuntoli himself was dismissed by Juvenous. His successor, Damian Comolli, somehow changed the club's strategy.

Although Cosmo kept in touch with Gasperini, the coach was already in advanced negotiations with Rome. Although Giorgio Chielli had suggested his appointment, Cosmo was not fully convinced of him. So Gasperini chose to sign with Rome.

The Iron of Fate

Today, while Juventus is looking again for new coach, Antonio Cotete with Naples and Gasperini and Rome share head of the Serie A ranking with 18 points, while the “OldZone” remains in search of lost stability, with 12 points holding eighth place. /Periscope/
