Juventus Names Luciano Spalletti as Head Coach

On September 12, 2025, Juventus, the Serie A club, officially appointed Luciano Spalletti as their new head coach. Spalletti, a veteran manager with extensive experience in Italian football, is tasked with revitalizing Juventus’ performance both domestically and in European competitions amid a challenging season. The club currently holds a mid-table position with 6 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses. Juventus’ next match, under Spalletti’s leadership, is scheduled against AC Milan on September 20, 2025.

Juventus Chairman Andrea Agnelli stated: “We believe Luciano Spalletti is the ideal head coach to lead Juventus back to success on all fronts.” The team and players have expressed optimism about his arrival, expecting positive tactical and player management changes.

LPGA Debut of Mary Trump

Mary Trump, granddaughter of former US President Donald Trump, made her debut on the LPGA Tour in a major professional golf tournament between September 10 and 12. She finished tied for 35th place with rounds of 72, 70, and 74, scoring a total of 216 (+6). Mary remarked, “Making my professional debut was a dream come true; I look forward to improving and competing at the highest level.”

WNBA Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) Talks

Extended negotiations regarding the WNBA’s collective bargaining agreement are ongoing as of early September. The talks aim to secure a 30% salary increase and enhanced health benefits for players. While no agreement has been reached yet, the WNBA Players Association remains hopeful. A spokesperson said, “We remain optimistic about reaching an agreement that fairly compensates players while advancing the league.”

Potential consequences include improved player welfare if the CBA is ratified, or possibly a lockout if negotiations fail before the 2026 season start.
