Juventus market: Tudor risks exoneration, possible replacements
Juventus’ first league defeat in Como has Igor Tudor’s bench wobbling, as he ended up under scrutiny after more than a month without a win. The Croatian coach’s team still has no identity, nor a well-defined starting lineup, and the balance sheet is crying: the Bianconeri have done worse in their first seven games than last season, when Thiago Motta was at the helm. Relations with the management would also be at an all-time low.
Juventus’s upcoming away engagements against Real Madrid and Lazio become crucial for the coach’s future, and already rumors about possible replacements are overlapping.
Among the first names in the Bianconeri orbit are certainly those of former national team coaches Luciano Spalletti and Roberto Mancini, who are hunting for a revival after difficult years. The list also includes Raffaele Palladino, a former Fiorentina player without a team after an excellent last season in the Viola, and a foreign option, Edin Terzic.
Tudor is under contract with the Bianconeri until 2027, and earns 4 million euros gross per’year.
