Igor Tudor’s future at Juventus hangs in the balance, with four potential candidates emerging to replace him, including Luciano Spalletti, Roberto Mancini, and Raffaele Palladino.
Igor Tudor’s tenure as Juventus head coach is under increasing pressure, with the team struggling to secure wins. The Bianconeri have gone six consecutive games without victories, and their recent 2-0 loss to Como has raised concerns about Tudor’s future.
Italian media has already named four potential candidates to replace Tudor, should he fail to improve results in the upcoming games. The candidates include Luciano Spalletti, Roberto Mancini, and Raffaele Palladino, all of whom have been linked to the Juventus job.
Spalletti, a former Italy national team coach, is reportedly open to taking the Juventus job, but salary issues may be a concern.
Mancini, a Juventus fan, has been touted as a potential replacement, but his past as an Inter coach in the Calciopoli era may not sit well with some fans.
Palladino, on the other hand, has an excellent relationship with Juventus’ technical director François Modesto, which could make him a strong contender. Even Thiago Motta, Tudor’s predecessor, has been mentioned as a possible returnee, given his existing contract with the club.
The next two or three games will likely determine Tudor’s future at Juventus, with crucial matches against Real Madrid, Lazio, and Udinese looming. A poor performance in these games could seal Tudor’s fate and pave the way for a new coach.
Damien Comolli, who will become the club’s CEO next month, may also play a significant role in deciding Tudor’s future. Comolli could opt for a surprise move and choose a different profile, should he decide to relieve Tudor of his duties.
Tudor’s struggles have left Juventus in 7th place in Serie A, level on 12 points with Como, and three points below a Champions League spot. The pressure is mounting, and the clock is ticking for Tudor to turn things around.
