This Sunday, Igor Tudor officially took office on the Banc de la Juventus de Turin. Arrived to succeed Thiago Motta, the Croatian coach was presented to the press this Thursday.
In front of the journalists, the former coach of Olympique de Marseille spoke of an astonishing anecdote about Khéphren Thuram and his father Lilian. The 1998 world champion notably invited Tudor to crop the French midfielder if necessary.
“Yesterday, I had his dad on the phone, it was normal to greet Lilian. We chatted, he said to me, 'If he did something bad, give him a slap right away!' (laughs). He really said it like that. I replied, 'No, he's high, everyone told me good.' Khephren is strong, I know him, I faced him with Marseille, against Nice, I remember it. A talented player, humble and always ready to get available ”said the tactician from Split.
As a reminder, Tudor and Lilian Thuram both evolved under the colors Bianconere between 2001 and 2005. Together, they won the Scudetto twice (2001-02, 2002-03), as well as an Italian Supercoupe (2002-03).
