Igor Tudor Confirmed to Lead Juventus as Head Coach for 2025-26 Season
Juventus has officially confirmed that Igor Tudor will remain as head coach for the 2025-26 season, ending speculation about a potential managerial change. Tudor initially returned to the club in early 2025 to replace Thiago Motta, who was dismissed due to underperformance. His initial contract only covered the remainder of the season, including the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup.
Despite earlier rumors linking Juventus with several high-profile managerial candidates, the club has opted for continuity by retaining Tudor. The decision was formally announced by new General Manager Damien Comolli, who emphasized the club’s confidence in the Croatian coach’s leadership and tactical approach. Comolli also expressed his belief in Tudor’s ability to build long-term success at the club.
Comolli’s familiarity with Tudor stems from the latter’s stint at Marseille, where he was impressed by the physical intensity and commitment displayed by Tudor’s teams. These attributes, along with his recent work at Juventus, contributed to the decision to secure his services for the full season ahead. The club sees Tudor as a strong figure capable of guiding the team through both domestic and international challenges.
Tudor is currently preparing the Juventus squad for their first match in the FIFA Club World Cup, scheduled to take place on June 19, 2025, against Al-Ain. This tournament will mark his first major test since being confirmed as permanent head coach, and the club hopes it will set the tone for a successful season under his continued leadership.
