Juventus previously officially announced the dismissal of Tudor. The team has now begun the coaching selection process. Di Marzio said that former Italy and Roma coach Spalletti is the first choice for Juventus' new coach. Mancini is Juventus’ plan B.

Di Marzio said that Juventus has made preliminary contact with Spalletti. The two parties are negotiating on project planning and salary.

Juventus’ Plan B is Mancini. As early as after Motta was fired, Juventus had tried to invite Mancini to coach. But the two sides could not reach an agreement at that time because Mancini asked for a one-and-a-half-year contract.

In addition, former Fiorentina coach Palladino is also a possible choice. Palladino is currently a free agent after leaving the Viola at the end of last season.
