Juventus have reportedly agreed a new contract with coach Igor Tudor to June 2027, with an option to extend for a further year.
The tactician had been brought in on March 23 after Thiago Motta was sensationally sacked and saw out the season with five wins, three draws and one defeat to secure fourth place in Serie A and Champions League qualification.
After some irritation he expressed at the idea he would not be confirmed in the role until after the Club World Cup, and the lack of valid alternatives with rejections from Antonio Conte and Gian Piero Gasperini, Juventus decided to stick with Tudor.
Multiple sources including Fabrizio Romano, Alfredo Pedullà and Gianluca Di Marzio are all confident that a deal has been reached to extend his contract.
It already had a clause allowing Juve to stretch it to June 2026 in case of a top four finish, but this new contract will run to June 2027 with an option to add a further year.
The 47-year-old has a strong bond with Juventus, having been a player here from 1998 to 2007, then was assistant manager under Andrea Pirlo in 2020-21.
