Juventus boss ‘Tudor spoke like a sacked coach’ claims Tuttosport editor – Football Italia

Pressure continues to mount around Igor Tudor, with Tuttosport delivering a scathing editorial ahead of Juventus’ next decisive test.

According to the newspaper’s editor Guido Vaciago, the coach “spoke like a sacked manager” in his latest press conference – even if the club hierarchy is not currently considering a dismissal.

The piece claims Tudor’s words and demeanour gave the impression of a man weighed down by the moment. The newspaper argues that while his ideas were not wrong, “his reasoning derailed,” suggesting the Croatian “looked as though he is suffering excessively from the situation.”

The concern, Vaciago insists, is not what Tudor said – but how he said it.

Vaciago: ‘Juventus cannot blame it all on refereeing errors’

The editorial underlines that the judgement will arrive on the pitch, not at the microphone: Juventus do not expect a win against Real Madrid, but they do expect personality. Another timid performance, like those against Como, Villarreal or Milan, would be considered the real failure.

Vaciago stresses that the issue is not the league table or Champions League position, both still salvageable, but the team’s mentality. The editor argues Juve’s problems are “less about refereeing errors and more about lethargy, technical imprecision and a lack of defensive concentration.”

The message is clear: a reaction is now mandatory. The club wants to see intensity, identity and leadership, with the editor reminding readers that Tudor knows Juventus from inside its history and must now show he can embody it.

Looking ahead, they describe the next run of matches as fundamental, not only for results but for restoring credibility and building the core of a team for the future. For the Tuttosport editor, the danger is not losing it is looking lost.
