After several difficult days filled with swirling rumors and speculation, Igor Tudor appears to have turned the page at Juventus.
The Croatian coach, whose future was under question, has now received clear and positive signals from the club’s leadership.
First came the vote of confidence from Exor CEO John Elkann, who personally expressed the ownership’s support.
Then today, Tudor held a key meeting with Juventus’ new General Manager, Damien Comolli an encounter described as “decidedly positive.”
The Tudor project at Juventus is now moving full steam ahead. Comolli has laid out a clear roadmap, and Tudor is now firmly back on track.
With the Club World Cup and the U.S. tour approaching the team departs for the United States on June 14 Tudor is currently working at Continassa with the players who have not been called up for international duty.
Several youth players from the Under-20 and Next Gen squads are also joining the sessions, a sign of the club’s ongoing focus on its development system.
During the U.S. tour, Comolli will closely observe the team and Tudor, using the opportunity to better understand the group, tighten leadership, and shape the club’s strategic direction.
All signs point to Tudor being the one to reopen Continassa after the summer break and lead Juventus into the 2025/2026 campaign.
With Tudor’s confirmation now increasingly likely, the General Manager must focus on two key issues. First, there’s the matter of the coach’s contract.
Although Tudor’s deal was automatically extended after Juventus qualified for the Champions League, it currently runs until June 30, 2026.
While that’s still two years away, it’s common practice to secure a long-term extension to give both the coach and the project greater stability.
The second issue involves building up the coaching staff. When Tudor arrived, he brought only his assistant Javorcic and goalkeeper coach Rogic.
Juventus will need to strengthen the technical team with additional experienced professionals to support the Croatian manager.
The tide has clearly turned for Tudor, who just days ago faced serious uncertainty. Now, the atmosphere at Juventus is much calmer, and it seems increasingly likely that Tudor will be the one to lead the squad into the future.
With renewed support from both the ownership and new leadership, the 2025/2026 season could mark a new beginning for the clubwith Igor Tudor at the helm.
