Juventus legend Gigi Buffon believes Luciano Spalletti should have been appointed manager of the club before the start of the Serie A season.
Spalletti, who took over the reins from the dismissed Igor Tudor, kicked off his tenure with a triumphant victory against Cremonese in his debut match.
Buffon, a stalwart figure at Juventus, expressed his delight, emphasizing that Spalletti’s arrival could have been a game-changer if it had occurred at the beginning of the season.

“They started well, I don’t know how convinced they were about the project. Seeing the decision made a few days ago (Tudor’s sacking) and the timing of it, makes me think there wasn’t all that much conviction initially,” Buffon told Viva el Futebol.
“Then you went and put the best prospect there was: the choice of Luciano (Spalletti) can guarantee the Juventus fans a series of results that fans and the club are waiting for. I’m only disappointed for one thing: I would have liked to see someone like him from the start of the season, with his preparation, the selection of some players.
“At that point, Juve could have been competitive until the end, but then I don’t know if they won or not.”
