Luciano Spalletti to sign contract extension with Juventus

Luciano Spalletti has reached an agreement to extend his contract with Juventus until the summer of 2028. The Italian coach, who took charge in October following the departure of Igor Tudor, is expected to sign the deal shortly. Reports indicate his annual salary will range between 5 and 6 million euros, including bonuses, with an additional 3 million euros covering the period from his initial arrival to the end of the current season. Management cited the team's improved performance, particularly the 3-0 away victory against Sassuolo, as a key factor in their decision. Juventus is currently fifth in Serie A, trailing the fourth-place position by one point in the race for Champions League qualification. The club is also working on contract renewals for key players Weston McKennie and Manuel Locatelli. Official confirmation of the agreement is expected to follow shortly.
