Mite reporting: Croatian coach Igor Tudor has won the Champions League qualification for the Juventus Zebras, but he also clarified his plans for the future. The FIFA Club World Cup (Club World Cup) will become a key node for him to stay or stay.

After the end of Venice's match against Juventus - it was a turbulent game, Juventus caught several times in a crazy 90 minutes, lost and regained the Champions League qualification - Tudor explained the near future of the club's coaching seat, which is his own future. He said: "I can say it will be revealed soon, very quickly. Please be patient and there will be a decision soon. I've always been happy. We have achieved great success, but as a coach, you have to accept this kind of life, it's always full of uncertainty, everything is unknown."

Then, as to whether he will stay, he made it clear: "We will meet soon, everything will be decided quickly. We were all focused on the end of the season, which is for granted. But everything will be settled before the Club World Cup, and I think that's right. A person should know his future before going there, otherwise it doesn't make any sense. It's not fair to me to play in the Club World Cup when I'm not sure about my future, but even more so for the club."

In short, if he gets confirmed, we'll see him coaching Juventus in the United States; but if the club chooses a new coach, he certainly won't be happy to go to that event. In fact, he wouldn't go at all.

Tudore's future with Juventus coaching seats

"If a coach participates in the Club World Cup but is away next year, this is not a good thing." Tudore's words are clear and express his position. He reiterated that he has not yet discussed his future with Juventus sporting director Jon Toli again as everyone is focused on the goal of winning the top four.

However, it was this time that the Champions League qualification that automatically triggered the terms of his contract renewal until June 30, 2026, but this did not completely lock in the Croatian coach's stay at Continentasa (Juventus training base). The club can actually pay a termination fee before the end of July to terminate his contract.

Now, putting aside Juventus' confidence in Conte's return to Turin, Tudor re-raised the future question, for him, this unsolved issue must be resolved before the Club World Cup.
