Igor Tudor is poised to sign a new contract with Juventus on Friday, with an agreement already in place.
The deal will see the Croatian head coach commit his future to the Bianconeri until June 2027.
This extension signals the club’s firm commitment to Tudor, who reportedly has the full backing of new General Manager Damien Comolli and club legend Giorgio Chiellini.
Tudor’s current situation at Juventus saw his contract automatically extended until June 2026 after he guided the team to Champions League qualification.
However, the club also had an option to terminate that agreement for a cost of €1 million this summer.
Despite earlier speculation linking other managers, including Antonio Conte and Gian Piero Gasperini, to the role, Juventus has decided to move forward with Tudor at the helm.
New General Manager Damien Comolli, who was officially appointed on June 4, 2025, has publicly confirmed that Tudor will lead the team into the 2025-26 season.
Comolli has also emphasized his close working relationship with Giorgio Chiellini, who holds the role of Director of Football Strategy.
Both key figures are fully supportive of Tudor’s vision and believe he is the right man to lead Juventus back to consistent success.
Reports from Italy indicate that Tudor’s agent was in Turin as early as Wednesday, June 11, 2025, to formalize the agreement.
The club’s decision to extend his deal now, rather than waiting until he entered the final year of his previous contract, underlines their desire for stability and long-term planning.
Tudor, who took charge in March 2025, will now have the opportunity to build a squad more aligned with his tactical requirements, with assurances of investment in the team.
Juventus is eager to return to its previous heights, both domestically and in European competitions, including making a strong showing at the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup.
