Juventus general manager Damien Comolli confirmed✅ on Tuesday that Croatian coach Igor Tudor will remain in charge for the 2025/26 season. Tudor, who took over in March after the dismissal of Thiago Motta, has earned the club’s backing following a solid finish to the Serie A campaign.
“I want to confirm that Tudor will be our coach for next season. I have already made this clear to him and we are working together,” Comolli told reporters, dispelling speculation ahead of Juve’s upcoming Club World Cup campaign.
Tudor arrived with the team knocked out of all cup competitions and languishing outside the top four. Under his leadership, Juventus lost only one additional league match and secured fourth place — enough to qualify for next season’s UEFA Champions League.
Comolli, who previously worked at Toulouse, said he’s long admired Tudor’s style.
“When he was at Marseille, he beat us twice. We even laughed about it. The intensity, the physical and mental stamina of his Marseille team impressed me. He did an exceptional job.”
🔄Structural Changes and 🔄Transfer Plans
Comolli also revealed plans to modernize Juventus’ technical structure. “We will appoint a sporting director for transfers and a technical director to implement a clear, long-term vision,” he said. The club hasn’t won a Serie A title since the 2019/20 season — their ninth in a row — and is aiming to rebuild its domestic dominance.
On player matters, Comolli confirmed that Randal Kolo Muani — on loan from Paris Saint-Germain — will participate in the Club World Cup despite his contract expiring this month.
“We’ve not reached an agreement for next season, but I’m optimistic. PSG hasn’t closed the door, and Kolo Muani wants to stay.”
As for top scorer Dusan Vlahovic, who has led Juve’s frontline for the past three seasons, Comolli emphasized the need for clarity.
“I want to understand what he wants to do. He is a top player, but something didn’t work this season. Once I understand his intentions, including on the contractual front, I’ll be able to decide.”
With Tudor at the helm and key personnel decisions ahead, Juventus are shaping their next chapter — one they hope will mark a return to consistent silverware and stability.
