Aside it being from my personal opinion, I think with strong finances and a solid board behind him he can do well here. He's currently joint top in the Russian league with Zenit and from the odd game I've seen of them, they do play some fantastic stuff. Everybody mentions the 7-1 humiliation by Manchester United but nobody mentions his victories over Real Madrid and Chelsea also his near victory against Arsenal).
If he can sort a teams defence out, then he plays the kind of football that will bring you sucess in the modern game. Fast counter attacking play, ball to feet. Something Juventus aren't acustom to have done with years gone by.
If were going to be going on a revolution as the press are saying then with the right players Spalletti will do a fine job here.

He'd need to have a small kitten sitting on his lap in the dug out though.
Fair points. But it has always bothered me how he seems completely clueless from a defensive point of view. So, for me, he's not a good option.
Just look at his past seasons with Roma. They never really challenged for a title, mostly due to their mediocre defensive unit & tactics. All of a sudden a competent tactician comes in & they're fighting till the complete end.
I don't know, maybe I'm reading too much into that & it could even be a coincidence for all I know. But I can't rid myself of the feeling that the current Roma team is a lot better than the one we saw in the previous seasons, while still (mostly) consisting of the same players.

Thats the only stumbling block for me Buck, his defence setup. I have to say Roma games in the past were more enjoyable from a neutrals point of view than they are now. Suppose thats not the best thing though is it 
Personally, I couldn't care less about playing football that the general public perceives as beautiful or enjoyable. I am much more a fan of well organized teams (like the Italian(s) teams were known for, for many years), than I am of free flowing attacking football. But I do realise that's not what most people appreciate.
They were especially more enjoyable from the oppositions point of view

Villareal adopt such a tactic and they do fantasticly well against the big teams in Spain for doing that. That was not a team that was built with Millions either.
That is most certainly true.
Inter is probably the best example out there right now (at least in the big games). Even though they play a fairly attacking formation, their (defensive) organisation always comes first. Something I admire a lot. I think I even posted it before: It hurts me to admit it, but they play the exact kind of football I adore. In a way very similar (not necessarily in terms of formation, but rather in approach) to the way we played under Lippi.
Now the question is: do we have the players to do that? Honestly, I don't know. But I'd like to think that we do, based on what I saw the previous season or 2.
