Inzaghi emerges as Juventus option to replace Spalletti in 2027-28 La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that ex-Inter and Lazio coach Simone Inzaghi is a candidate to replace the Bianconeri’s coach in 2026-27. Luciano Spalletti is already under pressure as Juventus have had a slow start to the season, grabbing only 11 points in seven Serie A matches with three wins, two draws and two losses.

However, if Spalletti finishes the season without reaching the minimum target, Champions League qualification, Juventus would look for a different type of coach.

The Italian coach, who guided Inter to the Serie A title in the 2023-24 season, is highly regarded for his top-flight experience, ability to develop players, and understanding of the club’s needs. During his time at Inter, Inzaghi also won the Coppa Italia twice, the Supercoppa Italiana three times, and reached the Champions League Final in 2023 and 2025.
