Ex-Inter Milan defender explains why Spalletti is the best Italian manager

Retired Italian footballer Lele Adani argues that Juventus boss Luciano Spalletti is the best head coach Italy has to offer.

The 67-year-old has enjoyed a long and prosperous career, although his previous experience with the Italian national team was a complete letdown.

Nevertheless, the Certaldo native was keen to put that disappointment behind him, so he was delighted to receive a phone call from the Old Lady following Igor Tudor’s sacking in Late October.

Despite his elite status, Spalletti accepted a short-term contract when he took the reins at Continassa, and allowed his work to do the talking.

While the path has been filled with bumps, Juventus have been on a steady rise since the Italian manager’s arrival, whether in terms of results or performances.

So even though Champions League qualification has yet to be achieved, Juventus decided to reward him with a new contract until June 2028.

Adani certainly agrees with the Bianconeri’s decision, as he believes that the former Roma and Inter head coach is the country’s best tactician at the moment.

“I put Spalletti at the top among Italian coaches, also in terms of knowledge and sheer ingenuity in creating football,” said the former and Inter defender in his interview with La Nuova DS via .
