In its official press release published this Sunday, Juventus Turin did not specify the exact duration of the Igor Tudor contract, freshly appointed coach instead of Thiago Motta. But the Italian press quickly mentioned a short contract, until the end of the season, with an option for an additional season. This same Italian press is already certain that Croatian will not make old bones in the club he frequented as a player from 1998 to 2007. Indeed, according to La Gazzetta dello SportPiedmontese leaders have already appointed a new profile to take charge of the team next season.
And it is very clear: Juve wants an experienced coach and with a well -stocked record. And the first name mentioned by the daily pink paper is half surprising, since it is Antonio Conte. The Italian coach left an indelible footprint to Juventus, as a player and coach, with three Scudetti won between 2011 and 2014 on the sidelines. But he betrayed the supporters by leading to Inter Milan, and he is currently stationed in Naples, with a contract until 2027. The fact remains that the link that unites Juventus is still strong, and that reunions are deemed possible.
The Tale goal and the Dream Zidane
Behind Conte, we find Roberto Mancini and Stefano Pioli. The first is considered a great coach after winning with the national selection (Euro 2020) and three Serie A with Inter Milan (2006, 2007, 2008). He was approached to take the succession of Thiago Motta directly but he had immediately claimed a long contract, which was not the basic idea of the leaders. Pioli, he wore the tunic Bianconera as a player, and would be delighted to find a large Italian club, when he took charge al-Nassr following the end of his adventure with AC Milan, which he had led to the national title in 2022.
But that's not all, the leaders do not forget Gian Piero Gasperini either, who announced that he would not extend with Atalanta. The fact remains that the Italian is more renowned for the collective quality of his team than for his record on the national scene. And the management of Juve considers to have been mistaken by favoring a game project, with Thiago Motta, to the detriment of an exacerbated win culture … Last name slipped, that of Zinedine Zidane, who would check all the boxes but which seems a sweet dream, since the bench of the French national selection will finally be free.
