Juventus leave out important details on Tudor contract | OneFootball

Juventus announced that they have fired Thiago Motta and appointed Igor Tudor, but notably do not specify the length of the contract, which is extremely complicated.

See how the situation evolves with the latest news on the Liveblog.

The decision had been in the air and this afternoon the club released a statement confirming that Thiago Motta had been dismissed, bringing in his replacement.

“Juventus FC also announce that the Men’s First Team will now be led by Igor Tudor, who will take charge of his first training session tomorrow, Monday, 24 March.”

However, this statement leaves out many important details, because this is no ordinary campaign, nor contract.

Juventus keep Tudor guessing on contract

Tuttosport suggest the contract will officially run to June 30, 2025, but with an option to extend until June 2026 if they secure Champions League qualification.

The option is automatic, but at the same time, Juventus also retain a separate option allowing them to unilaterally rescind the contract by July 30.

There is another issue to consider, namely that Juve have qualified for the Club World Cup, which is played in the United States of America from June 14 to July 13.

That means if Tudor’s contract extension option is not activated, his deal will expire midway through the tournament on June 30.

It is possible Juve could activate the option regardless and then have the opportunity to terminate the deal by July 30.

There had been reports that Tudor’s willingness to accept these terms are why he ultimately got the nod rather than Roberto Mancini.
