On Monday, the inevitable came. Igor Tudor had led Juventus for eight games without a win. This is not accepted in the old lady. Now it is reported that the replacement is on its way in this week, where only details remain. For us here in the north, it is a little extra entertaining that the coach who was ridiculed by Ståle Solbakken and the Norwegian national team players this summer, will lead the giant Juventus to the Champions League.
It is Luciano Spalletti. Now, the Italian has led Napoli to the Serie A title, but as Italian national team coach, until the day after the proud nation was outplayed by Norway at Ullevaal this summer, it was anything but success.
