For the 2005/06 season Chiellini returned from Fiorentina to Juventus and fought for a regular place after a difficult start to the season under coach Fabio Capello . After Juve's forced relegation to Serie B for the 2006/07 season due to the manipulation scandal , Chiellini had a regular place in the defense under the new coach Didier Deschamps and managed to get promoted again with the team.

In the 2007/08 season Chiellini moved from the left full-back position to central defense for the injured Jorge Andrade . There he became a key player in the team that finished third in Serie A under Claudio Ranieri . After his performance at the European Championship in 2008, his contract with Juventus was extended until 2013.

Due to his performance at Juventus, Chiellini was appointed by national coach Roberto Donadoni in the squad for the European Championship 2008 in Austria and Switzerland .
