The club thanks Igor Tudor and his entire staff for their professionalism and dedication over the past months and wishes them all the best for their future careers.
Zidane reappears on the Juventus bench. With the official farewell of Igor Tudor after a weak period, the Turin club sees the French coach as a big bet for their new project.
Tudor’s dismissal, after eight games without a win, paved the way for Zidane’s name to gain strength. The former Real Madrid coach has an inactive contract and retained the ambition to return to the coaching job.
Zidane and the rumours of his return to the Juventus bench.
Zidane has confirmed in various public statements that he does not rule out coaching a team again. According to himself, the possibility of taking over Juventus has always been present.
The French coach, who is a living legend in Madrid, won three consecutive Champions League titles and left the club with records. Hence, his return is seen as a significant move in European football.
In Turin, on the other hand, they recognize that the Zidane option is complicated. His return would depend on his availability and a comprehensive deal with Juventus’ board.
Tudor’s crisis is speeding up the process at Juventus.
Igor Tudor’s departure became official after Juventus went unbeaten in eight games and suffered subsequent defeats against teams like Lazio.
The Bianconeri, after years without league titles, felt that the cycle had lost momentum and sparked debate about a generational change in the coaching staff.
With Tudor dismissed, the club appointed an interim coach and opened the list for a permanent replacement, among whom Zidane emerges as the favorite.

The choice of Zidane is due to several factors: global charisma, top-level experience and the ability to bond with high-level players. His performance at Real Madrid supports his candidacy.
Moreover, his profile will send a clear message: Juventus aims to regain prominence in Italy and Europe. The arrival of the Frenchman would generate excitement and symbolic reinforcement.
Nevertheless, the club has to deal with the competition from other candidates and manage the expectations. The coach’s contract has not yet been defined, and his hiring would require a strategic framework.
Challenges Zidane would face in Turin.
For Zidane, taking on Juventus’ project would involve several challenges: restructuring a team without an identity, lifting team morale and rebuilding the collective ambition.
Serie A and the Champions League present different demands than those he experienced at Real Madrid. The Frenchman will have to adapt to the Italian context and deal with a profound transformation.
Additionally, the club is facing a managerial and organizational transition, adding complexity to the challenge and emphasizing the need for a coach with authority and vision.
In conclusion, Zidane’s path is uncertain, but promising. Juventus offers him an ideal arena to regain prominence, and he seeks a challenge worthy of his legacy. The official announcement is expected to come soon, closing one chapter and opening another.
