Premier League club targets managers Juventus is still paying

One of Juventus’ most recent managers could soon be heading to the Premier League, as Wolverhampton Wanderers reportedly consider both Igor Tudor and Thiago Motta for their vacant managerial position. The English club recently dismissed their head coach and are now seeking an experienced figure capable of rebuilding and strengthening the team ahead of the second half of the season.

The situation is of particular interest to Juventus because both former coaches are still financially connected to the club. Thiago Motta was dismissed less than a year into his three-year contract, which he had signed in the summer of 2024, while Igor Tudor was relieved of his duties only a little over a week ago, having spent just a few months in charge after signing his agreement during the same summer. Unless Juventus reached immediate severance settlements, both managers would still be entitled to compensation as part of their contractual terms.

Juventus’ Interest in Wolves’ Managerial Search

This financial link explains why Juventus are closely monitoring developments at Wolves. Should either Tudor or Motta secure the role, it could ease the financial burden on the Bianconeri, as their salaries would then be covered by the new employer. For Juventus, such an outcome would be advantageous, allowing them to focus resources elsewhere while maintaining a positive relationship with both former employees.
