The return of Igor Tudor. In search of a new coach, Olympique de Marseille is reportedly thinking of Igor Tudor to come and play duty firefighters. The Croatian’s name has been mentioned in recent hours within the Marseille team, reports Provence this Tuesday morning. It’s hard to imagine him coming back only a few months after giving up his apron and especially after Pablo Longoria’s revelations about him last week.
“What Igor suffered, I would not wish on my worst enemy. He found himself in a club where everyone was against him: inside and outside. Many people were organizing to raise tension against him. People called on Jorge Sampaoli to come back, others asked to give power to the players. There were calls to supporters groups to remove the coach. When I returned to Marseille, I felt that the pre-season resembled the 37th day of the championship, where you stake your life. That’s not normal. And, again, I didn’t see the situation coming.”
Naples really appreciates Igor Tudor
Despite this, contact would therefore have been re-established with Tudor. But the latter could decline the invitation, if it ever arrives, because another project should be offered to him. In fact, the Gazzetta dello Sport revealed this Tuesday that Naples is seriously considering him to take over the team if Rudi Garcia were to leave. The Frenchman is in a delicate position. The Partenopei results are disappointing. To this, it must be added that some players were annoyed by his choices. The last is Victor Osimhen, who left the field very angry this weekend.
While he had supported him until now, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis is asking questions. He plans to leave a few more matches to Garcia. But he also knows that he has to anticipate and so he has started to more or less survey the market. Antonio Conte’s name has been mentioned, but he is not interested. ADL isn’t a big fan either. On the other hand, he likes Igor Tudor a lot. He admired his work at Hellas Verona as well as at OM. If the Croatian has often been sent to Juventus, it is ultimately in Naples that he could settle down. He is now the No. 1 choice in the event of Garcia’s departure. This would be a great opportunity for Tudor, who would lead the Italian champions.
