Juventus, identity lost: Palladino watches from afar as Tudor wobbles | OneFootball

At Juventus, the atmosphere is growing tense. After yet another disappointing performance against Como, Igor Tudor’s team increasingly gives the impression of not knowing who they are or where they are going. The technical project launched by the Croatian seems to have stalled before even taking shape: there is a lack of rhythm, ideas, and a clear tactical direction.

Juventus, another defeat: Tudor’s bench is starting to wobble

The numbers tell the story of the crisis better than any analysis: just one win in the last six matches, with a series of draws that have sapped confidence and clarity. But the problem goes beyond results — it’s a matter of spirit. The Bianconeri appear fearful, disconnected, and unable to impose their style of play even against opponents who are, on paper, inferior.

Meanwhile, rumors are multiplying. According to sources close to the club, in recent hours technical director François Modesto has had an informal conversation with Raffaele Palladino. The former Fiorentina coach, currently free after his spell with the Viola, is a name that appeals due to his youth, his knowledge of the Juventus environment, and his ability to give his teams identity and courage. In Turin, no one is confirming or denying anything. And the presence of Palladino’s collaborator, Federico Peluso, at the Como stadium did not go unnoticed. Juventus is at a crossroads: continue with Tudor, hoping for a turnaround that has yet to arrive, or entrust the team to a new technical project before the season slips away. What is certain is that, today, Juve no longer resembles itself.
