Tudor to continue as Juventus manager after positive talks with executives | OneFootball

Igor Tudor is set to remain as Juventus manager after earning the trust of the club’s top brass (h/t La Gazzetta dello Sport).

The Croatian was appointed as interim boss until the end of this season after replacing Thiago Motta in March.

Despite his contract automatically extending until 2026 after securing Champions League qualification, the Bianconeri have been seeking a high-profile manager to replace Tudor.

However, top target Antonio Conte decided to remain at Napoli after winning the Serie A title.

Gian Piero Gasperini, who was also on Juve’s wishlist, will leave Atalanta to become the new manager of AS Roma.

Tudor has slowly turned his situation around after holding positive talks with Juve’s newly appointed general manager Damien Comolli.

Due to a lack of top-quality alternative options on the market, Juventus have decided to stick with Tudor.

The Italian giants will back Tudor in the transfer window, and he has requested the signing of Bologna’s Dan Ndoye to bolster the attack.

The Swiss international has grown into one of Serie A’s top forwards following his impressive performances at Bologna.

He tallied nine goals and six assists in all competitions this season, including the winning strike against AC Milan in the Coppa Italia final.

Juve are likely to face tough competition from Europe’s top clubs for Ndyoe, including fellow Italian club Napoli.

Tudor’s first big test will be the Club World Cup, as Juve are prepared to face Al-Ain in their opener this month.
