Luciano Spalletti will celebrate tonight, after the match against Pisa at the “Allianz Stadium” in the 28th round of Serie A, his 67th birthday. His coach Juventus he has already received his gift, the Bianconero club announcing that they will renew the contract signed last October for only eight months.
Even though Juventus have fallen to sixth place, four points behind fourth (last in the Champions League), occupied by AS Roma, Luciano Spalletti has no worries about the future. Gazzetta dello Sport announced that the Italian coach, who turns 67 today, will continue with the Piedmontese team.
“We have already discussed my contract. This week, next week, we will meet with the club. We don't have the position in the championship that a club like Juventus should always have, but we can feel the passion and the curiosity of the fans.
Luciano Spalletti: “That's what we work for, for results and for excitement. I don't need to brag about agreements…”
They are the ones pushing us from behind at the stadium. That's what we work for, for results and excitement. I don't need to boast about chords…”Spalletti testified.
The club's bosses know that a continuation of the collaboration can have a deeper meaning if the experienced coach, in tune with Juventus' projects and appreciated by the fans, remains.

The pink daily reveals that “after the game with Pisa, Spalletti will reopen the issue of transfers (“We will discuss the plans…”) in an exchange of opinions that, so far, has been smooth, as they are on the same wavelength.
As for the length of the extension, a 2-year contract could be signed, but the option for another year is on the table. A commitment only until June 2027 would leave the final verdict to the results.”
3millions of euros is the current annual net salary that Luciano Spalletti has at Juventus, the same as that of Igor Tudor, whom he replaced on October 30
“An extension of the agreement between the parties who respect each other will be formalized as soon as possible, in pursuit of the happiness of Juventus”
A face-to-face meeting between the club and the coach will have the final say. Juventus and Spalletti start over without applying the clause that would allow the Bianconeri sto extend the agreement for one season without having to open discussions, as Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis wanted to do in the spring of 2023.

“No unilateral move. No one in the cube has ever considered it. A renewal between parties that respect each other is expected to be formalized soon in pursuit of happiness.
But first, the Pisa obstacle, a tower to dodge to avoid sliding backwards. The prospects matter and deserve a renewal, but the points in the ranking weigh a lot and can give this renewal a different and more valuable dimension”, concludes the quoted source.
