According to Gazzetta, Igor Tudor is on his “Final Mission” with Juventus in Serie A. This concludes with the upcoming match against Venezia at the Pier Luigi Penzo stadium, anticipated to be a highly charged atmosphere with a full crowd. Tudor`s time managing the Bianconeri began in Turin less than two months ago and is set to end over 400 kilometers away. While the Club World Cup in the USA is scheduled later, his primary objective is securing fourth place in the league standings.
Tudor appears to have had a positive impact since taking over at Juventus, backed by statistics: in 8 matches, he has achieved 4 wins (all at home), 3 draws, and just one defeat. This translates to an average of 1.88 points per game, which is a better record than his predecessor, Motta, who averaged 1.79 points. If Juventus defeats Venezia, they will not only secure Champions League qualification but also finish the season with 70 points. This would place them just one point behind Massimiliano Allegri`s final tally of 71 points in the 2023-24 season.
Regarding the club`s future coaching plans, speculation is leaning towards appointing a manager known for winning Scudetti, with the profile strongly suggesting Antonio Conte. Tudor himself maintains focus on the present, stating, “I don`t think about the future, and I don`t feel inferior to anyone.” His main goal is to achieve Champions League football, which he views as a significant achievement. Following the Venezia match, he will lead the team in the Club World Cup experience. However, it`s widely expected that his time with Juventus will end after the tournament in America, though the possibility of him managing another Serie A club isn`t entirely ruled out.
