After the era Thiago Motta and internal sabotage in Turin, it's time for Igor Tudor, who is used to coaching teams for only a few months. We know this even more since his 10-month stint at Olympique de Marseille: the Croatian coach has an iron fist in an iron glove.
At a press conference this Thursday, March 27, 2025, in front of the Italian media, he used humor and revealed a succulent anecdote. Regarding the recovery of a squad undermined by injuries, currently 5th in Serie A with 9 matches remaining, this inevitably requires a renewed intensity. Igor Tudor admitted to calling Lilian Thuram, his former teammate in defense at Turin in the 90s-2000s. The discussion inevitably turned to the subject of his son, Khephren, midfielder at Juventus.
Lilian Thuram told him that " if (his) son does something wrong, (he) can slap him " ! Enough to make the audience laugh. Parental authorization validated.
It's not certain that this will be enough to completely turn around this club, which has been in decline for several seasons, in nine matches. Juventus host Genoa this Saturday at 9 p.m., as part of the 18th matchday of Serie A.
