Juventus target heaps praise on Spalletti: “We have a great relationship”

Roma midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini only had words of praise when discussing Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti.

The 29-year-old, who was born and raised in Rome, started his career with the Giallorossi’s youth products.

After making his big breakthrough at Sassuolo, his original club brought him back in the summer of 2017.

Pellegrini’s return to Roma coincided with Spalletti’s departure from the city, as the manager went on to coach Inter that summer.

However, the two men ended up working together in the national team between 2023 and 2025. The midfielder was a regular starter at the Euro 2024, which ended in a disappointing elimination at the hands of Switzerland in the Round of 16.

And yet, Pellegrini insists that he still has fond memories of his time under Spalletti when asked about his rapport with the Juventus boss, who is reportedly interested in a reunion.

“Does Spalletti want me at Juventus? I have a great relationship with the coach,” said the Roma star following Sunday’s 1-1 draw against Atalanta (via JuventusNews24).
