Igor Tudor Extends Juventus Reign with New Contract Until 2027

Turin, Italy – June 13, 2025 – Juventus have solidified their managerial future by extending Igor Tudor's contract until June 2027, with an option to 2028, as confirmed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on June 12. The announcement follows Tudor’s appointment after Thiago Motta’s abrupt sacking earlier this year, marking a strategic shift for the Serie A giants.

Tudor, a former Juventus defender with a decorated playing career, returned to the club as assistant coach under Andrea Pirlo before taking the helm post-Motta. His interim success, including a 1-0 victory over Genoa, has convinced the Bianconeri board to commit long-term. The move aims to stabilize the squad, currently vying for a Champions League spot after a narrow 3-2 win against Venezia.

The 47-year-old Croatian brings a wealth of experience from stints at Udinese and Hajduk Split, where he showcased tactical acumen. Fans and analysts see this as a return to Juventus’ roots, leveraging Tudor’s deep club connection. Despite some skepticism about Italian football’s managerial carousel, Romano’s reliable insider network backs the decision. As Juventus prepare for the FIFA Club World Cup, Tudor’s leadership will be key in restoring the club’s dominance.
