Luciano Spalletti will stay on as Juventus coach after signing a new two-year deal, the Serie A club announced on Friday.

Spalletti will reportedly be earning five million euros ($5.8 million) a season from his extended contract.

“It’s important that I tell you first before it becomes official that we have decided to extend my contract for two more years,” Spaletti said in a video released by the club which showed him speaking to his players.

Spalletti was brought in by Juve in October to replace the sacked Igor Tudor and charged with ensuring qualification for the Champions League.

The club has been convinced by the 67-year-old who most famously won the Serie A title with Napoli in 2023.

Spalletti, whose previous job was a tumultuous and unsuccessful stint as Italy coach, has Juve one point away from fourth place which is currently occupied by Como.

However, the gap is effectively two points as Como won both meetings between the two teams this season.

Juve face another Champions League qualification contender in Atalanta on Saturday night.
