Igor Tudor

[Socrates 8661]

Capello has his say on if Tudor should remain Juventus manager next season

 

 

Igor Tudor is currently focused on guiding Juventus to a strong finish this season, while also aiming to make a case for being appointed as the club’s permanent manager. ............

 

Confidence remains high within the club that there is still enough time to salvage the campaign. Tudor is viewed as a figure who could bring stability and structure, with the potential to make a significant impact in the final stretch. His familiarity with the club’s culture and environment, having previously been associated with Juventus, positions him as a candidate who understands the unique demands of the role.

 

Nevertheless, speculation continues over who will lead the team next season, with reports linking Antonio Conte to a possible return. ............

 

Fabio Capello has weighed in on the debate, expressing his belief that Tudor deserves to continue if he achieves Champions League qualification. Capello stated:

“If Tudor manages to qualify for the Champions League, I believe he can still lead this Juve, because he knows the environment and knows what is needed to do well. The players follow him, and he can be the next Juventus coach.” ............

Tudor has already dispelled Motta’s mentality by banishing a word at Juventus

 

 

Although he’s only returned to the club less than a month ago, Igor Tudor has already made his presence felt at Juventus, as portrayed by the club’s first three displays under his stewardship.

 

The 46-year-old knows the club inside out, having spent the bulk of his playing days in Turin. He also served as Andrea Pirlo’s assistant manager during the 2020/21 campaign. ............

 

But in addition to changing the mood at Contanissa, Tudor’s arrival also prompted a major tactical overhaul.

 

The new manager has already erased the word ‘horizontal’ from the club’s vocabulary.

 

During Motta’s ill-fated stint, Juventus often struggled to advance the play, instead settling for sterile horizontal passes that left their supporters frustrated. ............

 

But with Tudor now in charge, the team is no longer wasting time in possession, but instead opting for a direct approach, launching the ball forward with vertical plays.

 

This noticeable change was illustrated by Juve’s two goals against Lecce on Saturday night. Kenan Yildiz’s winner over Genoa a couple of weeks ago was also a perfect depiction of the team’s new mentality. ............

Three reasons why Juventus could confirm Tudor at the end of the season

 

 

While Juventus are keen to secure a place in the Champions League next season, Igor Tudor knows fully well his job is on the line. ............

 

Tudor’s contract only runs until the end of the season, but it includes a renewal option in favour of the management. Obviously, this clause would only be triggered if the 46-year-old succeeds in guiding the club towards Europe’s elite club competition, but it should be noted that the club doesn’t have the obligation to activate it, as it is merely optional. ............

 

The first factor is the most obvious one: results. After all, this aspect is at the very essence of any sport.

 

Since taking over from Motta, Tudor managed to halt the free fall, and has thus far collected seven out of nine possible points.

 

The second aspect is tactical balance. The Bianconeri are looking more solid at the back, but they’re also going forward with numbers, while also making swift transitions, something that we rarely witnessed with Motta.

 

Finally, Tudor has been a major upgrade on his predecessor in terms of communication. ............

Legrottaglie explains how Tudor revived Juventus through a simple trick

 

 

Former Juventus defender Nicola Legrottaglie has been impressed by his former teammate Igor Tudor whose simplistic approach is paying dividends. ............

 

The 46-year-old’s arrival breathed new life into a team that was in complete disarray. While they haven’t been able to register commanding victories, Juve have now regained a spot in the Top Four after collecting seven points out of a possible nine. ............

 

Therefore, Legrottaglie noted how Tudor has been able to revive his players, simply by playing them in their more natural roles.

 

“Tudor was careful to put the players at ease and above all to place them in their preferred roles,” said the former Juventus defender.

 

“Igor, in some ways, did what everyone expected. He deployed Koopmeiners in the position where he had done very well at Atalanta, and the early signs have been positive. Against Lecce, the Dutchman played well and found the goal.

 

“The same goes for Nico Gonzalez who has been deployed on the right flank where he has had a completely different impact compared to when he was used on the left.

 

“Ditto Thuram, who now plays much more inside the pitch, where he can be even more dominant. Yildiz himself, placed more central and close to the goal, becomes more decisive as proven by the goals he scored against Genoa and Lecce compared to when he was deployed on the wing.” ............

Reports Juventus leaning towards Tudor extension for 2025-26

 

 

Monday’s reports claim that Juventus are already leaning towards a decision to appoint interim head coach Igor Tudor on a longer-term contract that will see him take charge of the club for the 2025-26 season.

 

Tudor is the current head coach of Juventus after replacing Thiago Motta on a short-term contract in March. The former Bianconeri defender was given the job partly due to the fact that he was willing to accept a short-term deal until the end of the Club World Cup that runs from June to July.  ............

 

There is an automatic extension clause in Tudor’s contract that will be triggered if the team achieves Champions League qualification by the end of the season. 

 

There is also, however, an option for Juve to terminate that agreement, which means that the ball still remains in the club’s court when it comes to appointing the next permanent head coach. ............

 

Regardless of contractual clauses, Tudor has impressed over his first three games in charge, with seven points from a maximum of nine earned so far following wins over Cagliari and Lecce with a 1-1 draw against the in-form Roma squeezed in between. ............

 

Tudor is already beginning to convince his employers in Turin, who are already beginning to consider ‘confirming’ the Croatian as the team’s head coach for 2025-26. ............

Capello explains how Tudor turned Juventus around: ‘Rung the school bell’

 

 

Fabio Capello believes his former player Igor Tudor has already brought a new lease of life to Juventus after picking up seven points from his first three matches in charge, and suggests that the Croatian has found success after bringing back a sense of freedom and enjoyment to the Old Lady. ............

 

Juve are up to fourth in the Serie A table, and reports earlier in the week claim that the club are currently leaning towards a decision to extend Tudor’s contract so that he is in charge for the 2025-26 season as well. ............

 

Capello, who spent two years coaching Tudor during his time in charge of Juventus, insists that his former player is ‘more than just a journeyman’ and has explained how he has brought a positive atmosphere back to the Allianz Stadium in such a short space of time.

 

“It’s like the Croatian has rung the school bell: Books under desks and everyone in the playground having fun,” Capello wrote.

 

“The Tudor effect is there, and you can feel it. Igor amazes me, but most importantly, it seems that he likes the players. The Champions League race is still a long-shot, but in just over 20 days, the new Juventus coach has already achieved an important feat. Aside from the seven points in three games, he’s given much greater freedom to individuals.” ............

 

“Tudor knows Juventus and made choices that suit the club as soon as he returned to Turin. All the best players are on the pitch, beginning with Vlahovic, and in the positions most natural to them.

 

“Yildiz has gone from the wing to a playmaker role, while McKennie has said goodbye to the trequartista role. Igor didn’t invent a magic formula, but he has demonstrated that he has the key skills to coach a big team: Common sense and practicality.”

Igor Tudor’s former coach explains how he won over the Juventus dressing room

 

 

Igor Tudor’s recent appointment as Juventus manager has sparked renewed optimism at the club, and those who have worked with him in the past are not surprised by the early signs of success. Sixteen seasons ago, Tudor served as assistant to Edoardo Reja at Hajduk Split, giving Reja a unique perspective on the qualities the Croatian brings to the role—insight that many others may not possess. ............

 

Since taking the reins, Tudor has made a promising start, remaining unbeaten in his first three matches and recording two victories. His early results suggest a positive shift in both morale and tactical execution, with Juventus appearing revitalised under his leadership. ............

 

In that regard, Tudor has quickly begun to establish himself. His ability to command respect and inspire trust appears to be resonating with the squad, and Juventus are now playing with renewed swagger and self-assurance.

 

Speaking on the impact of his former assistant, Reja offered his assessment of Tudor’s influence: “He started by taking care of the defence, but then he fully integrated into the staff. He spoke to the boys in their language, which helped a lot. When he comes in running, he knows how to make an impact immediately. He is credible in what he says, and if you are credible, the locker room follows you.” ............

Why Igor Tudor will lead Juventus to a top-four finish

 

 

Igor Tudor wishes to remain the Juventus manager beyond this season, and that possibility may become a reality when the campaign concludes.

 

The former Juventus defender has taken charge of three matches, securing two wins and remaining unbeaten. ............

 

Tudor has the qualities required to guide the team towards its end-of-season objective of Champions League qualification.

 

Since Tudor’s arrival, the Bianconeri have appeared significantly more composed on the pitch, with high expectations that he will steer them back into Europe’s elite competition.

 

The players appreciate his philosophy

To earn your players’ trust and secure positive results, it is essential to make them embrace your tactical vision. ............

 

Tudor shows respect for the players

While this was not necessarily absent under Thiago Motta, the players reportedly feel more valued by Tudor, who utilises their strengths.

 

In his brief tenure, Tudor appears to deploy players in their optimal positions. ............

 

He embodies the Juventus DNA

Tudor featured in over 100 league matches for Juventus and secured four major honours, including two league titles.

 

One of the reasons he was deemed a suitable candidate is his understanding of what it means to don the iconic black and white Juventus shirt. ............

 

Rival clubs struggle with consistency

Bologna held fourth place for an extended period and continues to pose a challenge to Juve’s position, but their inconsistency has been evident.

 

Their recent defeat to Atalanta allowed Juve to retain their place in the top four, and further dropped points from Bologna are anticipated. ............

Paolo Paganini doubts Tudor will be the Juventus coach next season

 

 

Juventus appointed Igor Tudor with the aim of restoring stability and guiding the team back to the Champions League, and so far, the Croatian has delivered a commendable performance. His arrival has reinvigorated the squad, and results under his leadership have offered hope to supporters that a top-four finish is achievable.

 

Naturally, the ideal next step would be for Juventus to confirm Tudor as their manager for the upcoming season. ............

 

This ongoing uncertainty explains why the club continues to be linked with a potential reunion with Antonio Conte. Currently in charge at Napoli, Conte previously enjoyed a successful spell at Juventus as both a player and manager, winning multiple titles. ............

 

Journalist Paolo Paganini, who has closely followed the situation at Juventus, weighed in on the club’s managerial future. He said:

 

“I believe that what happens at the coaching level will be fundamental, because Tudor, yes, is doing well, but I don’t think Tudor will be Juventus’ coach next year. So of course, then we will have to make the evaluations with all the new staff that will eventually be at Juventus.” ............

What Juventus’ fans think about replacing Tudor with Conte

 

 

Juventus have been strongly linked with a managerial change at the end of the current campaign, with growing speculation suggesting that Antonio Conte could return to the helm. Should this materialise, it would mark the end of Igor Tudor’s brief spell in charge, regardless of the outcomes he delivers over the coming weeks. ............

 

Several voices around the club and within the Italian football media believe this summer could be the right moment to bring Antonio Conte back to the Allianz Stadium. Conte previously enjoyed significant success during his time with Juventus, and many view him as a figure who can reignite the club’s competitive edge.

 

That said, Conte is not currently available without complications. He is under contract with Napoli, meaning that Juventus would likely need to negotiate his release, an arrangement that would come at a financial cost. ............

 

Despite the speculation and Conte’s established pedigree, recent indications suggest that Juventus supporters may not be united in their desire to see a change. One in two Juventus fans would prefer to see Igor Tudor remain in charge next season, provided that he continues to deliver positive results.

 

Conte is widely regarded as one of the finest tacticians in the modern game and has a proven record of transforming squads into title contenders. However, his intense managerial style and often fiery temperament are factors that bring a degree of risk. ............

Savino doubts if Tudor will have enough games to prove his worth

 

 

Juventus remain hopeful that Igor Tudor will lead the club to a top-four finish this season, thereby securing qualification for the next edition of the Champions League. The campaign has not unfolded as anticipated, especially considering the optimism and high expectations with which it began. Despite a strong start, the Bianconeri’s form has faltered, leaving them in a position where European qualification is the immediate target. ............

 

In addition to managing the remainder of the domestic campaign, Tudor is also expected to lead the team at the Club World Cup. However, his future beyond this season is yet to be decided. Juventus are reportedly waiting to assess his impact over the coming months before making a long-term decision on the managerial role. ............

 

At the same time, speculation continues to surround the club’s potential interest in reappointing Antonio Conte. Some within the Italian football community remain unconvinced by Tudor’s suitability for a permanent role. Roberto Savino has offered his opinion on the matter, voicing a preference for a return of Conte. He commented:

 

“I’m not sure that nine league games and a Club World Cup will be enough to understand if Tudor is the right man for today’s Juventus.

“Conte is Conte, with all the pros and cons. However, the Salento native should build a great team. I would still take Conte to get back to winning straight away.” ............

“He has brought the game back” Pundit impressed with the job Igor Tudor is doing

 

 

Pundit Antonio Di Gennaro has expressed his admiration for the impact Igor Tudor has made since taking over on the Juventus bench, as the team strives to salvage its season with only a few matches remaining. ............

 

The shift in atmosphere and playing style has not gone unnoticed, with fans beginning to see signs of the assertive, attacking football they had long been hoping for. Tudor’s approach appears to have brought renewed purpose and clarity to the side, even if the task ahead remains challenging. ............

 

Antonio Di Gennaro commented on Tudor’s early influence, stating: “Tudor is working very well at Juventus, he has brought the game back, because against Lecce I saw 75 minutes of vertical play and the two goals are truly two goals of great workmanship, vertical play, first-time, insertions. Koopmeiners has returned to scoring so he is doing the work they asked of him and then I don’t know if he will stay or not.” ............

Moggi does not think Juventus and Conte would ever happen again

 

 

Several reports indicate that Juventus may appoint Antonio Conte as their manager at the conclusion of the current season, despite his present role at Napoli. ............

 

At present, Igor Tudor is in charge on an interim basis, managing the team until the season’s end, when the club is expected to make a definitive decision regarding the managerial position. ............

 

There is speculation among supporters and neutral observers that Tudor will not retain his role beyond this term and may be replaced by Conte. However, this perspective is not universally held. Former Juventus executive Luciano Moggi has expressed scepticism about such a scenario materialising and believes the club has missed the opportunity to secure Conte’s return. Moggi stated:

“I think Conte could stay at Napoli because he has the chance to win the Scudetto. Maybe with Conte, Juventus would be in a much better position than they are now; they certainly wouldn’t have drawn as many times as Thiago Motta. There was a chance to sign him when they chose Thiago Motta. I don’t know why they didn’t sign him, but now… Conte at Juventus is a finished story.” ............
