According to our information, Torino has obtained information on Igor Tudor in recent days. Preliminary contacts have taken place between the different parties, but the discussions remain, at this stage, very far from being advanced. The idea is pushed internally by Gianluca Petrachi, who returned to the sporting direction of the Piedmontese club during the season to try to give a guideline to a Torino which has long navigated in the soft underbelly of Serie A before getting dangerously close to the red zone in the heart of winter. After the dismissal of Marco Baroni, the Garnet leaders chose to rely on Roberto D’Aversa to ensure maintenance and calm a dynamic that had become very worrying. Despite a more stable end to the season and some encouraging results in the derby or against direct competitors, the former Parma coach will not be retained for the next year.
Still according to our indiscretions, the Croatian coach would like to return to Serie A after his very brief stint at Tottenham, ended after only a few weeks in an extremely delicate context. His name also retains a particular resonance in Turin, having worn the colors of Juventus for almost a decade before later returning as coach. A necessarily symbolic nod in a city where the derby remains omnipresent. Internally, Torino knows, however, that the file promises to be complex since at least two other Serie A clubs are also closely following the situation of the 48-year-old technician, whose rating remains high on the Italian market despite his recent English experience. The coaches’ waltz therefore continues in Italy.
