Julian Nagelsmann linked to Juventus as Spalletti faces pressure
Reports say Nagelsmann is a target for Juventus as Luciano Spalletti’s position grows uncertain amid disappointing results.
Julian Nagelsmann is again being linked with a return to club management — but reports suggest his next move may not be to the Premier League. Italian outlets now mention Juventus as a possible destination for the German coach.
Juventus under pressure
Luciano Spalletti's position on the Juventus bench is described as insecure after a run of poor results. The Old Lady sits in eighth place with 14 points, while Inter and Lazio already hold an 11-point advantage, leaving hopes of a Scudetto all but extinguished. Restoring Juventus to the Champions League has become the club's immediate priority.
Nagelsmann has been without a job since this summer after parting ways with the German Football Association (DFB). He is reportedly waiting for the right offer, and Juventus — struggling domestically — is among the clubs being discussed as a potential next step.
Before his spell with the national team, Nagelsmann managed Bayern Munich and first rose to prominence at RB Leipzig. He developed his reputation earlier at Hoffenheim, where he established himself as one of Europe's most promising young coaches.
Juventus face two difficult domestic tests in the coming days: they host Napoli on Sunday and then travel to Fiorentina. In between, the club will play AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League. If Spalletti's poor run continues, questions about his future after the international break will grow louder.
