As reported by Autosport in August, Iannone will return to the Ducati fold to ride a Panigale V4 R in 2024, having previously spent four years with the Italian marque in MotoGP between 2013 and 2016.
Iannone has been absent from racing since 2020 after he was handed a four-year ban for testing positive for taking illegal steroids.
With the ban set to be uplifted in 2024, the Italian has spent much of the year targeting a comeback, and has been seen at several WSBK races in order to seal a contract with Ducati.
The deal was officially announced on Wednesday, just over a week before the 2023 season finale at Jerez on 28-29 October.
“I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, I'm finally back on track, where I spent my life. I thank Gigi Dall'Igna, Paolo Ciabatti, Claudio Domenicali, Marco Zambenedetti and the whole GoEleven team for their trust; with their support I have rediscovered the enthusiasm I had as a child. Special thanks also to the WorldSBK family for the opportunity. I'm fully excited."
