Massimo Pavan says there is an ongoing campaign to unsettle Igor Tudor

 

 

Igor Tudor has impressed since taking over as Juventus manager in March, but the Bianconeri have encountered a challenging period in recent matches. Over the last few fixtures, the team has drawn three consecutive games, creating pressure around results and expectations. Despite this, Tudor has improved several aspects of the squad since his arrival, and there should be no immediate doubts regarding his position so early in the season. ............

 

While Juventus have experienced a series of draws, it is important to recognise that the team remains unbeaten under Tudor’s management. Maintaining an unbeaten run, even during a challenging patch, reflects stability and progress within the squad. However, some observers have suggested that a campaign against Tudor is underway. Commenting on this, Massimo Pavan said: “There are people trying to take out Igor Tudor. I think it’s so clear and obvious that it can’t be questioned. Who? Frankly, I don’t know who it is and I don’t know who ordered it, but it’s clearly a clear situation.”

 

The comments highlight the perception that external pressures may exist, yet Tudor’s influence on the squad appears to remain strong. He has implemented methods and tactics that have earned the confidence of his players, who are willing to work hard and perform under his leadership. This support within the squad is a crucial factor as the season progresses and challenges continue to arise. ............

 

Tudor’s approach has brought structure and belief to Juventus, and the expectation is that he will retain the club’s backing. His focus on developing the team, improving performances and maintaining consistency provides a foundation for long-term success. While ups and downs are inevitable in football, Tudor has demonstrated that he is capable of navigating difficult periods without losing the confidence of his squad or the club’s hierarchy. ............

“Sometimes a problem” Journalist highlights an issue for Tudor

 

 

Journalist Mario Mattioli has suggested that Igor Tudor is finding it difficult to integrate Juventus’ latest signings into his system, largely because many of them joined late in the transfer window. Juventus were among the busiest clubs on deadline day, securing several quality additions, but the timing of those deals has created complications for the manager.

 

The lack of a full pre-season with these new arrivals means that some players are struggling to adapt quickly. ............

 

Mattioli explained the situation in detail, emphasising that abundance itself can be an issue when it comes to squad management. He remarked, “Abundance is sometimes a problem; having so many players you may not know well isn’t easy to manage. Tudor may not know how to bring together new faces; he’s having trouble, and we’re seeing it.

 

“The fact is that around Vlahovic, Juve have signed players who aren’t real strikers; they can play alongside a central striker but nothing more.” His assessment highlights two main concerns, the tactical fit of the new players and the difficulty of creating balance within a squad assembled so late in the window. ............

 

While Juventus’ squad boasts considerable quality, the issue at present appears to be a lack of cohesion rather than a shortage of talent. Integrating multiple players without the benefit of a shared pre-season demands patience, tactical flexibility and time, all of which are in short supply during a competitive campaign.

 

Tudor is working to address these challenges, but the adjustment period is proving complicated. If Juventus manage to establish a clearer structure that maximises the strengths of their new arrivals, they could quickly elevate their performances and results. For now, however, the team remain a work in progress, with the manager striving to bring consistency while managing high expectations. ............

Tardelli tells Tudor three areas he needs to work on

 

 

The 1982 World Cup winner, Marco Tardelli, has been closely following Juventus and believes there are specific problems that must be addressed if the club is to return to consistent winning form. Juventus remain one of the most recognised sides in world football, but their limitations have become increasingly evident in recent weeks.

 

After beginning the season with a strong run of victories, the Bianconeri have now failed to win any of their last four matches across all competitions. ............

.

Tardelli explained his view on the team’s current problems. He said, “Another draw—they’re starting to become annoying, especially when they’re lacking focus and determination—and once again too many goals. A positive note was Conceiçao, who changed the game: unfortunately, it wasn’t enough. Tudor has a lot to work on with set pieces, midfield, and mental toughness.”

 

His remarks highlight three clear areas of concern. First, the team’s vulnerability at set pieces continues to cost them. Second, the midfield lacks the control and intensity required to dominate games consistently. Finally, Tardelli points to issues with mental resilience, suggesting the squad must rediscover focus and determination to avoid lapses that lead to dropped points. ............

 

Juventus players understand the urgency of regaining momentum. Draws may protect an unbeaten record, but they do little to sustain a genuine title challenge or progress deep into European competition. Without addressing these weaknesses, the club risks losing ground to rivals who are more consistent in delivering results. ............

“You lose your identity” – Del Piero thinks Tudor is mismanaging Juventus attack

 

 

Following Sunday’s 0-0 draw against Milan, Juventus icon Alessandro Del Piero tells Igor Tudor to avoid his hectic rotation between the strikers at his disposal. ............

 

Jonathan David has been initially identified as the team’s designated new bomber following his free transfer from Lille, while Loic Openda arrived on deadline day to offer the manager more options in the attacking third. Moreover, Dusan Vlahovic was happy to reject all offers to stay in Turin for his final contractual year.

 

Unfortunately for Juventus, the healthy depth in attack hasn’t yielded a positive return in terms of goal-scoring. David only netted on his debut against Parma, while Openda has yet to open his account for the club. For his part, Vlahovic bagged four goals, but never scored as a starter. ............

 

“Who is best suited to play in attack at Juventus? There isn’t a suitable player right now,” noted Del Piero following the club’s goalless draw against Milan.

 

“Juve have strength in other areas, but certainly not up front. Those who have started have almost always performed poorly. Vlahovic has only done well as a substitute.

 

“It’s complicated, the blanket is short. If you rotate a lot, you keep everyone on edge and give everyone confidence. But on the other hand, you lose your identity.

 

“The team recognises itself in a starting XI, which isn’t there right now, especially up front. Elsewhere, in defence and midfield, for example, the ideas are clear. Up front, Tudor still doesn’t have clear ideas.” ............

 

“Where can Juve improve? If they can play at a very high intensity, they’re much more vertical. Because they have players like Yildiz and Conceicao, who can cause havoc when given space.

 

“Juve are struggling in attack. The only one who tries to lift the pace is Locatelli, so the attackers get very few chances to score. If you receive the ball with eight or nine players up front, it’s difficult to do anything.”

Tudor earns Thiago Motta comparisons after Juventus - Milan 0-0 draw

 

 

Juventus now have the same number of points (12) after six matches of the 2025-26 season as they did after the same number of games under Thiago Motta last term, and current head coach Igor Tudor is now beginning to repeat an unfortunate trend that also troubled his predecessor. ............

 

Sunday’s result means that Juventus now have three wins and three draws after six matches of the Serie A season, the same set of results as they achieved after six Serie A matches under Thiago Motta last term. ............

 

Juventus managed to go 21 matches unbeaten at the start of the 2024-25 season under Thiago Motta, but the former head coach often came under criticism given that 13 of those matches ended in draws.

 

A year down the line, and Juventus have now drawn five matches in a row across Serie A and the Champions League, matching the longest streak of consecutive draws under Thiago Motta last season.

Causio suggests even Guardiola would struggle with this team

 

 

Franco Causio has expressed his disappointment with Juventus’ performances this season, as the Bianconeri continue to struggle for consistency. Traditionally regarded as one of the strongest clubs in Serie A, Juventus carry high expectations every campaign. This term began with the team considered one of the favourites to claim the title, but early signs suggest that translating potential into victories has been more challenging than anticipated. ............

 

Despite maintaining an unbeaten start to the season, Juventus have not won enough matches to establish themselves at the summit of the league table. The current squad is widely regarded as one of the strongest in Serie A, yet Causio argues that the team lacks the decisive quality required to secure silverware. Fans remain hopeful, but the Bianconeri must overcome inconsistency and convert opportunities into results if they are to compete seriously for trophies this season.

 

Causio also raised questions about the limits faced by manager Igor Tudor. He suggested that even highly esteemed coaches would struggle without exceptional players: “Is he (Igor Tudor) up to the task? If he has good players, he can become good. Even Guardiola would have struggled without talent. The coach has tactical orders to execute, but everything can’t depend on his decisions.” ............

 

Causio’s observations highlight the dual challenges of tactical execution and player quality. While Tudor has the strategic framework to guide the team, the absence of game-changing talent at critical moments has hindered Juventus’ ability to convert potential into consistent results. The manager must rely on his squad to rise to the occasion, while the players themselves must deliver individual brilliance alongside collective discipline. ............

What is Juventus stance on Igor Tudor after five draws?

 

 

After five consecutive draws, attention has turned to Juventus as speculation grows over how the club will respond to their manager’s current situation. Igor Tudor, well aware of the pressures that accompany such a high-profile position, finds himself under scrutiny as his team struggles to secure victories. For a club with Juventus’s ambitions, a prolonged period without wins is always cause for concern. ............

 

At the Allianz Stadium, there is a collective desire to see a turnaround in performances. The international break has provided Tudor with valuable time to reassess his approach, work on the team’s weaknesses, and attempt to reignite their early-season momentum. The Croatian manager, a former midfielder himself, understands that results must improve if he is to maintain his position at the helm.

 

Despite growing frustration among supporters, internal sources suggest that Juventus’s hierarchy remains patient. The club has made no decision regarding Tudor’s future, choosing instead to back him as the right man to lead the project. The management believes that with time and focus, the team can overcome this difficult spell and return to winning ways. ............

 

For Tudor and his players, the upcoming fixtures are likely to prove decisive. A strong response after the international break could restore confidence and stabilise the situation, while continued inconsistency would inevitably increase pressure on the coaching staff. ............

Biasin urges Tudor to differentiate himself from Motta

 

 

One of the main criticisms levelled at Juventus during Thiago Motta’s tenure was his inability to establish and maintain a consistent starting line-up. The men in black and white possessed a deep and talented squad, yet Motta often emphasised that he did not have a fixed team. Instead, he preferred to select players based on their performances in training before each match, a philosophy that ultimately contributed to his downfall.

 

Igor Tudor now appears to be following a similar path. The former midfielder is facing increasing pressure to find stability within his team selections. ............

 

A lack of continuity can affect cohesion, rhythm, and confidence within a squad. While healthy competition for places is essential, excessive experimentation often disrupts the chemistry needed for a successful campaign. Juventus’s recent performances suggest that the team has struggled to develop a clear identity on the pitch, a problem that echoes the issues seen under Motta. ............

 

Journalist Fabrizio Biasin has called on Tudor to demonstrate leadership by committing to a clear tactical vision and a regular starting eleven. He stated: “Now, a Juve that’s content can’t be a ‘real Juve,’ and everyone has to understand that. The rest depends on the choices: for too long, it’s been difficult to remember a Juventus starting eleven. And this situation has always been synonymous with uncertainty. To escape the chaos and the disturbing similarities to Motta’s management, Coach Tudor should name his starting eleven and, above all, choose a starting striker.” ............
