Lluís Cortés appointed Juventus head coach after Canzi exit

Lluís Cortés will take charge of Juventus Football Club as head coach. The appointment follows the club's announcement on Wednesday of Massimiliano Canzi's departure from the bench. Official confirmation of Cortés' contract is still pending.

Cortés previously led FC Barcelona Femení, guiding the women's side of the Spanish giants. His tenure with Barcelona ended before he accepted the Saudi Arabia role.

After Barcelona, Cortés served as head coach of the Saudi Arabia women's national team. He oversaw the squad's preparation for upcoming international fixtures.

Massimiliano Canzi left Juventus on Wednesday, ending his brief spell as caretaker manager. The club cited mutual agreement for his exit.

Juventus confirmed it is searching for a new manager following Canzi's exit. The club indicated that Cortés' appointment will be announced officially in the coming days.

Cortés is expected to assume his duties at Juventus once the paperwork is completed. The Italian side hopes his experience with women's football will bring a fresh perspective to the senior squad.
