Tudor poised to take over from Motta at Juventus

Juventus are finalising the appointment of Igor Tudor as their new head coach, with the club ready to part ways with Thiago Motta as soon as an agreement is reached with the Croatian manager.

While initial reports this week suggested Roberto Mancini as a strong candidate for the job, Juventus have made significant progress in talks with their former player, who is now without a job since leaving Lazio at the end of last season.

This flexibility appears to have given him the edge in securing the job over other candidates.
