Tudor Given Six-Game Window as Juventus Slump Deepens Ahead of Real Madrid Trip

The Bernabeu test opens a short window to arrest a winless run that has stretched since mid-September.

Overview

  • Como beat Juventus 2-0 for their first win over the Bianconeri in roughly 70 years, extending Juve’s run to six games without a victory across competitions.
  • Tuttosport reports the coach has six matches, through the next international break, to turn results around following Monday meetings between Igor Tudor, Damien Comolli and the squad.
  • Italian outlets describe a fraying Tudor–Comolli relationship and list potential successors including Luciano Spalletti, Roberto Mancini, Raffaele Palladino and a possible Thiago Motta return, with Sky Sport saying Palladino is being seriously considered.
  • Tudor defended switching to a back four and delaying Dusan Vlahovic’s introduction by arguing Juve needed players who could run against Como, as pundits highlighted the team’s first shot on target arriving in the 89th minute.
  • Juventus confirmed a 23-man squad for Real Madrid with Fabio Miretti and Edon Zhegrova returning; youth players trained with the group but were not selected, and Tudor called for a big reaction while citing a heavy schedule in his analysis.
