Elia Caprile emerges as favourite to replace Perin at Juventus Juventus are already searching the market for Mattia Perin’s replacement, setting their sights on Elia Caprile. As reported earlier today, Perin appears to be on his way out of the club, as he plans to find himself a new club that guarantees him substantial playing time. The 32-year-old has at least three suitors in Milan, Bologna and Como. ............ Caprile has surfaced as the most plausible candidate for the role. The 23-year-old is a Verona native who started his career at Chievo but was then poached by Leeds United. ............ However, the eventual Scudetto winners were only playing on one front amidst the lack of European football, which limited the young goalkeeper’s opportunities. Hence, he joined Cagliari in January on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season. ............ The Isolani are going to activate this clause in the coming days and buy Caprile for €8 million after helping them avoid relegation. Nevertheless, the Sardinians don’t necessarily intend to keep the goalkeeper, as they would be happy to register a windfall, especially if they were to receive offers in the region of €15 million. ............ .

La partita Juventus-Al Ain verrá arbitrata dall'arbitro Tori Penso (U.S.A.) Cristiano Ronaldo ha un precedente negativo con lei durante la finale della coppa dell'Arabia Saudita. CR7 fu molto contrariato per le decisioni prese dall'arbitro che lo ammoní pure.

Penso che la seconda del nostro girone giochi con la vincente del gruppo H, quindi in teoria si giocherá o Real-City o Real-Juve.

Juventus first Club world cup training session in the USA cancelled Juventus’ preparations for the FIFA Club World Cup have encountered a minor disruption, as their first scheduled training session in the United States was cancelled due to a delay following their arrival. The Italian giants, who are one of two clubs representing Serie A in the expanded competition, are currently based in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. Having made a stop in Washington before reaching their training base, the Bianconeri were set to hold a light session designed to help players stretch and recover from the long journey. ............ The scheduled training session was cancelled upon arrival, with the team instead set to begin full preparations this morning local time, which corresponds to the afternoon in Italy. The session was expected to be light in nature, focusing on loosening up muscles after the lengthy flight rather than any intensive tactical work. ............ Juventus’ first match in the tournament will see them face Al Ain in the early hours of 19 June. The UAE-based side will be eager to test themselves against top European opposition, and the fixture represents a meaningful opportunity for both clubs. While Al Ain are expected to put up a competitive fight, Juventus will approach the game as favourites and are confident of securing a positive result. ............ . The cancellation of the first session is unlikely to impact the squad’s overall readiness, and with several days remaining before their opening fixture, there is ample time to make the necessary adjustments and settle into full tournament mode. .

How much will Juventus earn from competing at the Club World Cup Juventus are among the European clubs currently taking part in the expanded FIFA Club World Cup, which officially got underway today in the United States. The Bianconeri join Inter Milan as the two Italian representatives, and both clubs will be looking to leave a strong impression on and off the pitch during their stay in North America. ............ Although there is great value in the global exposure the event offers, particularly in a key commercial market like the United States, Juventus are likely to be even more focused on the financial potential the competition represents. ............ Juventus have already earned around 20 million euros by simply qualifying for the competition. From there, the financial rewards continue to increase. Each group stage victory will bring in 1.9 million euros, with 900 thousand euros awarded for a draw. Progressing through each knockout round comes with significant financial incentives, with 7 million euros awarded for reaching the round of sixteen and an additional 12.2 million euros guaranteed for a place in the quarterfinals. ............ If Juventus advance to the semifinal, they will receive 19.5 million euros, with 27.9 million euros set aside for the finalists. The eventual champions are set to collect a further 37.2 million euros, underlining the substantial sums on offer at this tournament. With those figures in mind, Juventus will approach this competition with a clear understanding of the financial stakes involved. ............ .

Di Marzio reveals the midfielder Juventus are more likely to sign than Tonali & Frattesi Juventus reportedly have a bigger chance to land Atalanta midfielder Ederson compared to Italy stars, Sandro Tonali and Davide Frattesi. ............ But according to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, the management is also keen to add a quality midfielder to Igor Tudor’s ranks. ............ Khephren Thuram was the only new addition who proved his worth in his first season in Turin. On the other hand, Teun Koopmeiners and Douglas Luiz failed to inspire. While the Dutchman should be given another chance, the Brazilian is heavily tipped to return to the Premier League. ............ In recent months, Juventus had identified Tonali as the ultimate dream. However, prising him away from Newcastle United remains a daunting task, as the Premier League side has no reason to part ways with the former Milan star, especially after qualifying for the Champions League. Juventus have also been monitoring Frattesi who hasn’t been able to lock down a starting role at Inter over the past two seasons. ............ Therefore, Di Marzio believes that signing Ederson could be the most plausible option for Juventus, even though Atalanta are requesting large figures (starting from €60 million), while Manchester City and Manchester United have been mentioned as potential suitors. ............ .

Juventus set their price for winger wanted at Marseille Juventus are reportedly open to selling Nicolas Gonzalez less than a year following his arrival, as Olympique Marseille emerges as a possible destination. ............ Juventus would be willing to part ways with Gonzalez if they were to receive an offer in the region of €25 million. While this might not be a substantial figure in today’s market, it should be enough to avoid registering a capital loss, and would also allow the club to reinvest it in a new addition to the squad. ............ The same source reveals interest from Marseille who remain keen to bolster Roberto De Zerbi’s ranks with renowned talents. The Ligue 1 giants secured their spot in the Champions League after finishing second in the table behind European champions, Paris Saint-Germain. ............ .

Igor Tudor identifies his six ‘untouchable’ Juventus stars Juventus manager Igor Tudor is hellbent on keeping six Juventus players whom he considers the foundation of his team. ............ Nevertheless, we can expect Tudor and management to introduce a few changes to the squad this summer to provide the coach with a group more suited to his ideas. ............ Tudor identified six stars as absolutely ‘untouchable’ as he would like to build his team around them. Unsurprisingly, the first name on the list is Kenan Yildiz who immediately found his feet under the tutelage of Tudor after struggling for form during Motta’s ill-fated tenure. In the middle of the park, the 46-year-old is adamant about keeping Manuel Locatelli and Khephren Thuram who formed a splendid partnership in the double pivot. Moreover, Tudor wants to keep Andrea Cambiaso at all costs, even though the Italian international has several suitors on the market. ............ Finally, the recently confirmed manager is hellbent on keeping Federico Gatti and Gleison Bremer. ............ .

Official: Tudor extends Juventus contract Juventus confirm Igor Tudor has signed a contract extension until June 2027, with an option for a further campaign. ............ “Passion. Charisma. Juventus spirit. Words that perfectly capture what Igor Tudor has brought to Juventus since taking over the Men’s First Team in late March – and what he will continue to represent in the years ahead,” Juventus said. “It’s now official: Tudor has renewed his contract with Juventus. The Croatian coach will lead the Men’s First Team until 30 June, 2027, with an option to extend by another year until 30 June, 2028. His next challenge begins this summer, as the team head to the United States for their first competitive fixture at the FIFA Club World Cup. ............ “A few months ago, Tudor reconnected with the club. Now, new chapters are waiting to be written together. “Congratulations, Coach Tudor!” ............ Tudor managed to secure qualification for the Champions League, and therefore, his contract was automatically extended to 2026. New General Manager Damien Comolli spoke very highly of the ex-defender during a press conference earlier this week, confirming that the Croat would remain in charge of the entirety of the 2025-26 season. A few days later, Tudor agreed to extend his Juventus contract by one more season. Tudor won five games, drew three and lost one during his time at the club. .

Igor Tudor explains what makes Yildiz a rare breed Kenan Yildiz is widely regarded as one of the brightest young talents in world football today, and Juventus can count themselves fortunate to have him within their ranks. The young attacker has attracted attention from top clubs across the globe, but Juventus are determined to keep hold of him and is working diligently to ensure he remains a central part of their future plans. ............ The closing stages of the recent season offered a clear view of Yildiz’s talent. He emerged as arguably the most productive player in the Juventus squad during that period, delivering key contributions and displaying a level of maturity beyond his years. His performances have reinforced the belief that he will be a leading figure for the club as they prepare for their next major challenge, the Club World Cup. Manager Igor Tudor has placed considerable trust in the young forward, who has flourished under his leadership. Yildiz has been deployed in a variety of attacking roles, appearing to enjoy a more liberated position since Tudor’s arrival. ............ As the team gears up to compete in the United States in the coming weeks, Tudor offered high praise for Yildiz’s contribution and mindset. Speaking about the player, he said, “There are players who know how to score goals and assist, those who stand out the most. But a mix of number 9 and 10 like him, who sees the goal but makes you play well, is rare. He has a gift, the mentality, being in every training session and exercise, without fear”. ............ .

Juventus hopes Vlahovic shines in America as they are keen to offload him Dusan Vlahovic’s contract situation and financial demands continue to present Juventus with a significant challenge. While the Serbian striker remains an important member of the squad, the club is finding it increasingly difficult to meet the terms of his current deal. However, success at the upcoming Club World Cup could provide a timely solution to this ongoing issue. ............ Juventus have offered Vlahovic a revised deal with reduced wages to ease the financial pressure. However, the player and his representatives have yet to accept the new terms, and there are indications that he may be willing to see out his contract and leave on a free transfer next summer. Such a scenario would be highly unfavourable for the club, which would lose a valuable asset without any return. ............ Juventus are hoping that Vlahovic delivers a strong performance at the Club World Cup, which could attract firm offers for his signature in the current transfer window. The tournament offers the perfect platform for him to showcase his abilities to an international audience, potentially accelerating negotiations with interested clubs. ............ .

Emanuel Emegha é un attaccante di cui si parla un gran bene in Olanda. Potrebbe essere selezionato dal c.t. degli arancioni per i mondiali dell'anno prossimo. 22 anni (nato il 3 febbraio come me ma una quarantina di anni dopo) di origine nigeriana, 195 cm, 82 kg. Gioca attualmente nello Strasburgo in Francia. Comolli dovrebbe conoscerlo.

Capello explains why Juventus should sign Man Utd striker instead of Gyokeres Legendary Italian manager Fabio Capello identifies Joshua Zirkzee as the ideal profile to replace Dusan Vlahovic at Juventus. Many believe that the Serbian’s time in Turin is coming to an end as the two parties couldn’t reach an agreement over a contract renewal. Therefore, the Bianconeri will be desperate to offload the misfiring striker whose current deal will expire in 12 months. ............ The Serie A giants are seemingly keen to find a new agreement with Paris Saint-Germain to keep Randal Kolo Muani, but the Frenchman alone won’t be enough. ............ Over the past few weeks, several centre-forwards have landed on the club’s shortlist, including Mateo Retegui and Viktor Gyokeres. The Swedish bomber is a very interesting profile, as he comes from an astonishing campaign with Sporting CP, scoring 54 goals from 52 appearances. ............ The former Juventus, Real Madrid and England manager believes that the Bianconeri would be better off chasing Zirkzee. “I’d go straight to Joshua Zirkzee, who had shown me some very classy plays in Serie A,” wrote Capello in his latest column. “Zirkzee would also cost less than the Gyokeres who is being linked to Juve. The Swede may have been a goal machine at Sporting, but he’s 27 and has never succeeded in a top-level league like ours.” Zirkzee was tipped to reunite with Thiago Motta at Juventus last summer and then again in January, but a deal never materialised. ............ .

FIFA Club World Cup Group G Preview & Predictions: Meet Juventus Rivals It was supposed to be a season of resurgence for Juventus after substantial squad investments last summer and Thiago Motta’s appointment. However, the record-time Italian champions had to settle for another mediocre campaign. Motta didn’t even last long enough to take credit for another top-four finish in Serie A. Igor Tudor took his place in the dugout in late March and finished what he started, helping Juventus secure Champions League qualification. ............ Progression from a competitive-looking Group G is anything but a foregone conclusion for Juventus. Indeed, they share the stage with Manchester City, Al-Ain, and Wydad and will kick things off on June 19 against the AFC powerhouse. ............ Juventus League: Serie A Head coach: Igor Tudor Like Group E favorites and arch-rivals Inter, Juventus have a point to prove in the United States. After all, this is the only international title they have never won. But there’s more than just prestige and another piece of silverware. Indeed, this could be a chance for the Turin giants to embark on a new winning cycle after years of suffering. ............ Several players within the squad are also facing a make-or-break moment, including exit-linked Dusan Vlahovic. The same goes for Randal Kolo Muani and Francisco Conceicao, as they both aim to earn permanent contracts at the Allianz Stadium. Star Player: Kenan Yildiz Though Vlahovic was Juventus’ best goalscorer in the season just gone, Kenan Yildiz was often the team’s driving force in attack. Unfortunately, the numbers weren’t there. The 20-year-old racked up just nine goals in 48 appearances. Therefore, this could be his time to shine. Potential starting line-up (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Bremer, Kalulu, Savona; Cambiaso, Thuram, Locatelli, Nico Gonzalez; Conceicao, Yildiz; Kolo Muani. Manchester City League: Premier League Head coach: Pep Guardiola While trophyless seasons have become Juventus’ harsh reality in recent years, Manchester City experienced a rare taste of the same last term. After four consecutive Premier League triumphs, they failed to lift silverware for the first time since Pep Guardiola’s debut campaign at the Etihad Stadium. An underwhelming league campaign, a premature Champions League elimination, and an FA Cup heartbreak prompted the club’s decisive reaction in the transfer market. Indeed, the Citizens have splashed out €137 million on summer reinforcements. Rayan Ait-Nouri, Rayan Cherki, and Tijjani Reijnders have signed for the former English champions. ............ Star player: Erling Haaland Despite all incoming deals in the past six months, Erling Haaland remains the most significant component in Guardiola’s jigsaw. The Norwegian goal machine had a quiet season by his high standards, finishing behind Mohamed Salah and Alexander Isak in the Premier League scoring charts. That could only serve as an added motive for him to explode in the US. Potential starting line-up (4-2-3-1): Ederson; Ait-Nouri, Gvardiol, Dias, Akanji; Kovacic, Reijnders; Cherki, Marmoush, Doku; Haaland. Al-Ain League: UAE Pro League (United Arab Emirates) Head Coach: Vladimir Ivic With 14 top-flight titles and 38 trophies overall, Al-Ain are the most successful club in the United Arab Emirates. However, their domination stretches beyond the UAE borders. Vladimir Ivic’s men defied the emergence of wealthy Saudi Pro League clubs to lift the AFC Champions League title in 2024. Star player: Kodjo Fo-Doh Laba Long-serving Al-Ain stalwart Kodjo Fo-Doh Laba may be unknown to wider international audiences, but his impact in Asian football is undeniable. The Togolese striker has been a nightmare for opposition defenses since joining the club in 2019 and even finished last season as the Pro League top scorer. Potential starting line-up (4-3-3): Eisa; Erik, Kouadio, Cardoso, Traore; Nader, Park, Palacios; Kaku, Rahimi, Laba. Wydad AC League: Botola Head coach: Mohamed Amine Benhachem One of Africa’s most decorated clubs, Wydad AC earned their spot at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup as Morocco’s representative, thanks to the 2022 CAF Champions League triumph. With three CAF Champions League titles and over 20 domestic trophies, the Casablanca-based giants are no strangers to elite competition. ............ Star player: Samuel Obeng Samuel Obeng will make his Wydad debut at this tournament after swapping Casa Pia for Stade Mohamed V this summer. As a rare foreigner in the squad, expectations will be high for the 28-year-old, who spent his entire career in the Iberian Peninsula before crossing the Mediterranean. Potential starting line-up (4-4-2): El Motie; Moufid, Marmouk, Nassik, Harkass; Malsa, Sakhi, Zemraoui, Arthur; Rayhi, Obeng. Prediction Group winner: Manchester City Second-place finisher: Juventus ............ Meanwhile, Juventus may not be their best version, but their quality and experience still make them strong contenders for the knockout stage. Regardless of their recent struggles, the Bianconeri should have just enough to outpace Al-Ain and Wydad in the race for second place. .

“I don’t know” Comolli plans meeting with Vlahovic to resolve his future One of the pressing issues currently facing Juventus is the future of Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian striker could depart the club in the upcoming summer transfer window, as uncertainty continues to surround his contractual situation. Vlahovic has entered the final year of his current deal, and discussions regarding an extension have been ongoing for some time. Despite Juventus’ desire to keep the forward beyond this season, no agreement has yet been reached. A significant stumbling block appears to be Vlahovic’s reluctance to accept a reduced salary. ............ The situation is further complicated by the current lack of a permanent sporting director. In the interim, Damien Comolli has been tasked with overseeing the negotiations concerning Vlahovic’s future. His role will be pivotal in determining whether the club can persuade the striker to remain in Turin under revised terms. ............ Comolli has revealed his plans to speak directly with the player upon his return, stating: “I spoke with Dusan last week. The player should return soon and I want to speak to him to find out what he has in mind. He is a top player, something did not work, I realise it is not enough, I do not know who is to blame. I have to speak to the player and understand, there is no doubt that he is a top player. We need to understand what his intentions are.” ............ .

Max Allegri & Milan identify Juventus star as their priority target Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic is reportedly the preferred transfer target for Massimiliano Allegri who is keen to reunite with the Serbian at Milan. The striker has naturally been added to Igor Tudor’s 35-man squad that will participate in the FIFA Club World Cup this month. However, many believe this tournament will mark the 25-year-old’s final act with the black-and-white club, as his future seemingly lies elsewhere. ............ The centre-forward’s current deal will expire in June 2026, so Juventus will be keen to offload him this summer to avoid losing him for free a year later. Moreover, the player’s performances have been far from inspiring in recent campaigns, and they certainly don’t justify his salary, which will mount to €12 million next season. ............ Italian journalist Gianluigi Longari tips Milan to launch an offer for the Serbian international player. “In the list of forwards followed by Milan, the name of Dusan Vlahovic remains at the top. He is Allegri’s favourite”. ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/allegri-milan-juventus-dusan-vlahovic-priority-target/

Juventus announce squad for Club World Cup Juventus have published their squad list for the upcoming Club World Cup in the United States, as Igor Tudor welcomes back a couple of long-term injury absences and plenty of youngsters to the regular group of players who current call Turin home. Juve will head to the U.S. with a squad of 35 players, which includes the return of Gleison Bremer and Arek Milik after both players dealt with injuries for much, if not all, of the 2024-25 Serie A season. ............ Three Juventus players are out due to injury: Juan Cabal, Mattia Perin and Fabio Miretti. Here is Juventus’ full squad list in full for the Club World Cup: Goalkeepers: Michele Di Gregorio, Carlo Pinsoglio, Giovanni Daffara, Giovanni Garofani. Defenders: Alberto Costa, Gleison Bremer, Federico Gatti, Lloyd Kelly, Pierre Kalulu, Daniele Rugani, Andrea Cambiaso, Nicolo Savona, Jonas Rouhi, Javier Gil Puche. Midfielders: Manuel Locatelli, Teun Koopmeiners, Weston McKennie, Filip Kostic, Khephren Thuram, Douglas Luiz, Stefano Turco, Augusto Owusu. Forwards: Francisco Conceição, Dusan Vlahovic, Kenan Yildiz, Nico Gonzalez, Arek Milik, Vasilije Adžić, Randal Kolo Muani, Timothy Weah, Lorenzo Anghelè, Alessandro Pietrelli, Samuel Mbangula, Nicolò Cudrig, Tommaso Mancini. Juventus begin group play on Wednesday, June 18, against UAE side Al Ain at Audi Field in Washington D.C. at 9 p.m. local time (3:00 CEST.). Juve will then face Wydad AC and Manchester City on June 22 and June 26, respectively. .

Unhappy Juventus star requests that he be allowed to leave Mattia Perin has formally requested Juventus to sell him this summer after another season in which he featured very little. Since returning from a loan spell at Genoa in 2021, Perin has consistently been the club’s second-choice goalkeeper, rarely securing significant playing time. At 32 years old, he has expressed a clear desire for more minutes on the pitch, which he feels he is unlikely to receive at Juventus. ............ During the tenure of former manager Thiago Motta, the Brazilian-Italian coach alternated between Perin and Michele di Gregorio, providing the veteran goalkeeper with occasional game time. However, the arrival of Igor Tudor altered the dynamics significantly. Tudor has shown a preference for consistency in goal and has stuck with Di Gregorio as his first-choice keeper whenever he has been fit. As a result, Perin’s appearances dropped sharply, culminating in just five Serie A games during the 2024/2025 campaign. ............ Perin has now asked the club to facilitate a transfer during the upcoming summer window. The report further claims that the goalkeeper is not willing to be part of Juventus’ squad for the Club World Cup and is actively seeking a solution to his future. It is clear that Perin wants to be the first-choice goalkeeper, whether that be at Juventus or at another club. ............ .

Juventus plans meeting to renew Igor Tudor’s contract Igor Tudor is now expected to sign a new contract, only days after it appeared he was on the verge of being replaced. The Croatian manager, who took charge in March, was reportedly at risk of being dismissed at the end of the season. Juventus had considered alternatives, including Antonio Conte and Gian Piero Gasperini, as they explored potential managerial changes. ............ The decision to continue with Tudor has been welcomed within the club, and the manager himself is said to be pleased with the support he has received. He has reportedly been assured that there will be investment in the squad, allowing him to build a side more suited to his tactical requirements ahead of the new campaign. Juventus has scheduled a meeting with Tudor in the coming days, one of the key purposes being for him to sign a contract extension. The new deal will reportedly run until 2027, underlining the club’s renewed commitment to long-term planning and stability. ............ Juventus are eager to return to its previous heights, with ambitions not just limited to domestic competitions. Securing another trophy remains a high priority, and there is significant interest in making a strong showing at the upcoming Club World Cup. While those targets are ambitious, the club’s leadership believe Tudor can help restore Juventus to the upper levels of European and international football. ............ .

Comolli talks winning ‘obsession,’ approach at first Juventus press conference Damien Comolli wasted little time Tuesday saying who Juventus’ manager next season would be, with the club deciding to stick with Igor Tudor after he joined them on an interim basis in mid-March. But there was still plenty of curiosity about what Juventus’ new general manager had to say even beyond his opening remarks. Mostly because up until this point, the 52-year-old Comolli was a relative unknown in the circles of those who are very focused on Serie A. ............ At his introductory press conference, Comolli hit on a variety of topics — from his approach to building a roster and approaching the sport in 2025, how data influences his decision making process, what Giorgio Chiellini’s role in this new-look front office will be and the remaining spots that need to be filled alongside him. ............ “I think identity is fundamental in the current sports industry. We are in the entertainment business, we gift emotions, but it is important to create a strong identity. The “moneyball” model aims to rationalise a very irrational industry like football. This model has helped me make the right, considered choices, based on careful evaluation. We mustn’t be afraid of this association between data and football because it can prove useful. My obsession is to try to win, but also to try to improve every day to gain an advantage over other teams, and for me, the best way to do that is to use data.” ............ “I have been working with data for 25 years now, I have a background in data analysis. I have never come across a more rational approach than that linked to data analysis. We will use data in different areas; it will guide us in measuring the strength of our team compared to our opponents, but data will also help us manage our business strategy. It is fundamental at all levels: it is part of my life and I know exactly how it works because I have used it in my previous experiences.” ............ “We will have a Sporting Director who will be responsible for transfer dealings and will also be part of the committee mentioned above, with a focus on the youth sector. There will also be a Technical Director who will have other responsibilities and will also report to me.” ............ “Giorgio Chiellini will have a strategic role, not just a role focused on the pitch but also off it. He will also be a key figure in the commercial sphere. There are several aspects that we are working on together. Giorgio and I will move from one area to another and discuss things on a daily basis. We have also set up a Football Strategy Committee, of which Giorgio will be a member.” ............ “We talked about the current squad, obviously taking Tudor’s approach into account. There are certainly adjustments to be made, but I can tell you that there will be no radical changes.” ............ “The first time I met the owners, I said that I would do everything to try to win every competition we played in. That doesn’t mean we’ll succeed, but that has to be the ambition. When you wear the Juventus jersey, you have to take to the pitch to win every time. I want to convey my passion to the club, but I know it’s already there and I’ll make sure it stays strong.” .

Official: Juventus confirms Igor Tudor will be their manager next season Juventus has brought an end to speculation over Igor Tudor’s future by officially confirming him as their manager for the next season. The Bianconeri had hoped to bring in a more experienced coach to replace the Croatian, pursuing Antonio Conte as their primary target. Additionally, Gian Piero Gasperini was considered as a potential option. However, both candidates declined Juventus’s advances, leaving the club in a difficult situation. With the Club World Cup approaching rapidly, Juventus needed to make a timely decision regarding the managerial position. After careful consideration, the club decided to retain Tudor, not only to lead the team in the upcoming tournament but also to manage the squad throughout the 2025–2026 season. ............ Speaking through Juventus’s official X account, Comolli said, “Igor Tudor will be our coach for the 2025/26 season. We’re working together, and I want to reiterate that he will be our coach next season.” His statement serves to reassure fans and stakeholders that the club is committed to continuity under Tudor’s leadership. ............ The club believes Tudor has fulfilled the objectives set when he was appointed. His ability to stabilise the team and meet set targets has earned him the trust of the new management. Juventus are therefore convinced that maintaining stability by retaining Tudor as manager is the best course of action for their ambitions. ............ .

Damien Comolli explains Chiellini’s role at Juventus Giorgio Chiellini has recently been appointed Juventus’s Director of Football Strategy, a role that grants him considerably more influence than his previous position, though he is not the club’s most powerful board member. This change reflects Juventus’s growing desire to involve former players who deeply understand the values of the institution and can represent both the squad and its supporters authentically. ............ Chiellini’s promotion has been welcomed by the club, who value his vast experience in both on and off‑field matters. He is expected to play a pivotal role in steering the football strategy forward, particularly with regard to youth development and the integration of the first team with the academy structure. ............ Damien Comolli provided further detail on Chiellini’s responsibilities: “He will also be the technical director, and we will work closely together from a footballing and commercial point of view. I could talk about Giorgio’s role for five minutes. We were part of the same committee at UEFA, he will be represented at Lega Calcio and UEFA. I am passionate about the youth sector, we will move from one area to another, we have collaborated well together. We have created a committee on football strategy that will discuss young people and the first team and Giorgio will be part of this. He will not deal with the market or training.” ............ Chiellini’s appointment represents Juventus’s commitment to reinforcing its football operations with individuals who possess both professional expertise and a genuine connection to the club’s identity. ............ Juventus fans are hopeful that Chiellini can replicate his success off the field, guiding the club back to prominence in a leadership capacity that aligns with the values they have cherished for decades. .

How much does Juventus want for underperforming Douglas Luiz? Douglas Luiz was regarded as one of the finest midfielders in the Premier League during the 2023–2024 season, which made his move to Juventus a significant moment in the club’s rebuilding efforts. The Bianconeri, aiming to re-establish themselves as a dominant force both domestically and in Europe, secured his signature at the end of that campaign as part of a broader strategy to restore competitiveness. ............
