Criticized in his debut, Igor Tudor has turned opinion around and is now unanimous at OM, current runner-up to PSG in Ligue 1.
Second in the championship, Olympique de Marseille is having an excellent season, despite the hiccups in the Champions League and the Coupe de France. Solid runner-up to Paris Saint-Germain for many weeks, OM are keeping up with the hellish pace imposed by PSG and are ahead of Lens and Monaco ten days before the end of the championship. Marseille owes this position to some of its individualities such as Alexis Sanchez, Pau Lopez or Chancel Mbemba. But it is above all the collective set up by Igor Tudor that shines this season. And the least we can say is that the Croatian coach has made a name for himself in Marseille and is attracting the greed of several European cadors according to Tuttosport, who claims that Juventus Turin could make Tudor their priority target in the event of Massimiliano Allegri’s departure this summer.
Igor Tudor priority for Juve if Allegri leaves
To date, a dismissal of Massimiliano Allegri is unlikely, if not impossible at Juventus Turin. And for good reason, the Italian coach would be second without the penalty imposed on the Old Lady, but above all, he enjoys an extraordinary salary estimated at 7.5 million euros per year, i.e. until 2025. Allegri would cost the leaders of Juventus Turin a fortune. That being the case, Tuttosport claim that in case Allegri finds a new club and wishes to leave Juve, the Turin club will not oppose his departure. And in this case, then Igor Tudor would be the preferred lead by the Italian leaders. Former player of Juventus Turin (171 games with the Old Lady), the 44-year-old Croatian coach would certainly not be insensitive to the call of the Bianconeri, which would not fail to shake OM. A year after the departure of Jorge Sampaoli, Pablo Longoria has found the ideal coach for Marseille and he has no intention of parting with him, having defended him when no one believed in him at the start of the season. Let the Marseille supporters be reassured, Igor Tudor will however not go to the clash to leave, he who is very excited at the idea of playing the Champions League a second time in Marseille.
