Juventus announces contract renewal for Croatian coach Igor Tudor
Rome – Saba:
Italian club Juventus officially announced on Friday the renewal of the contract of its Croatian football coach, Igor Tudor, for two seasons until June 2027, with the option to extend for an additional season.
The club wrote on its website: "Enthusiasm, charisma, youth: three simple words that accurately describe what Igor Tudor has been, from the end of March until today, since becoming coach of Juventus, and remind us of what the Croatian coach will continue to be in the future," according to Anadolu Agency.
The club said: "As of today, his contract renewal is official. Tudor is tied to our club until June 30, 2027, with an option for 2028. In the coming seasons, he will lead the men's first team, starting with the first official tournament held in the United States, the Club World Cup."
The 47-year-old Croatian coach took over at Juventus last March, following the dismissal of Thiago Motta. He led the club to a fourth-place finish in Serie A last season with 70 points.
Igor Tudor led the Old Lady in nine matches, winning five, drawing three, and losing one. The team is currently preparing to participate in the Club World Cup in the United States.
Juventus is in Group G of the tournament, starting next Thursday against Al Ain of the UAE, followed by Wydad Casablanca of Morocco, and concluding the group stage against Manchester City of England.

Gattuso named new Italy coach, tasked with 2026 World Cup Qualification
Rome – Saba: The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) on Sunday announced the appointment of former Azzurri midfielder Gennaro Gattuso as the new head coach of the Italian national team. He will be officially presented on June 19. FIGC President Gabriele Gravina praised Gattuso as an "icon of Italian football" whose "motivation, professionalism, and experience will be essential" for upcoming commitments. Gattuso, 47, takes over from Luciano Spalletti, who was sacked last week following a 3-0 defeat to Norway in Italy's opening European qualifier. This move aims to revive Italy's hopes of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, after failing to reach the 2018 and 2022 tournaments. A World Cup winner with Italy in 2006 as a player, Gattuso brings coaching experience from clubs like AC Milan, Napoli, Valencia, and Olympique de Marseille. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
