Juventus are already considering their options for the future of the dugout, with Simone Inzaghi emerging as a leading candidate should the club decide to part ways with Luciano Spalletti.
The Bianconeri are preparing to host Rennes in one of the most intriguing fixtures of the third round of the Europa League. However, the biggest talking point in Turin remains the uncertainty surrounding the managerial position following the disappointing defeat against Lazio in Serie A.
Spalletti remains in charge for now, but his future is increasingly under scrutiny. The coming matches could prove decisive in determining whether he retains the confidence of the club’s hierarchy, with Juventus keen to avoid being caught unprepared if a change becomes necessary.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, chief executive Carnevali is already evaluating potential candidates who could take charge of the Bianconeri in the future, with former Inter manager Simone Inzaghi reportedly identified as an ideal option.
Simone Inzaghi Emerges as a Leading Candidate
Inzaghi is currently managing Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal, where he is under contract until June 30, 2027. Despite his commitment to the Saudi club, his name is attracting attention in Turin as Juventus consider their long-term options.
The Italian coach is particularly appreciated for his extensive experience at the highest level and his personality. His ability to work within a club’s established structure is also viewed as an important quality for a potential Juventus appointment.
Inzaghi previously enjoyed a successful spell at Inter, establishing himself as one of the most respected Italian managers through his tactical approach and experience in major domestic and European competitions.
However, securing his services would not necessarily be straightforward, given his current contractual situation at Al-Hilal.
Conte and Farioli Also on Juventus’ Radar
Inzaghi is not the only name being considered for the Juventus job. Antonio Conte remains another prominent candidate, while Francesco Farioli, currently in charge of Porto, is also reportedly among the coaches attracting attention.
Juventus have yet to make a definitive decision regarding Spalletti, and the coming fixtures could have a significant impact on the club’s plans.
For now, the priority remains improving results and restoring confidence within the squad. Nevertheless, the emergence of several high-profile alternatives suggests that Juventus are already considering different scenarios should they decide to make a change in the dugout.
