“I say I would like, because I don’t have a crystal ball to read the future, he breathed on the Croatian, whose profile is popular in Italy, especially on the side of Juventus Turin. But I am very happy with his work. I hope he’s as happy as I am and we don’t just have to analyze the latest results, because we have to gain height. I am very “thankful” to Igor Tudor for what he accomplishes. »
Suffice to say that Pablo Longoria would have liked to continue with the former Verona technician who had a contract until June 2024. But after various interviews in recent days, the Spanish leader understood that Tudor had made his decision to leave the club. .

This afternoon, Igor Tudor will face the media and announce the news. At OM, a new project is coming up. And it is huge.
