According to Gazzetta, Igor Tudor is facing challenges from all sides. Tomorrow`s match in Parma is crucial for the Croatian coach to secure Juventus`s place in the Champions League and solidify his position as the Bianconeri`s manager. Despite the pressure, Tudor emphasizes, “The future is now.”
Tudor did not receive confirmation about leading Juventus into the 2025-26 season for his 47th birthday, nor is it expected imminently. His future largely depends on Champions League qualification, a task entrusted to him by the club. He rejects being labeled a mere caretaker manager, asserting his commitment and belief in himself as the Juventus coach.
Tudor insists, “The future is built today.” The upcoming game in Parma is another vital step towards securing a top-four finish. He faces not only Parma, coached by Cristian Chivu who also took over mid-season, but also those who are already questioning his tenure and eyeing his position. Ultimately, Tudor`s ability to guarantee Champions League qualification will significantly impact his chances of remaining as Juventus`s long-term coach.
