Tuesday’s reports claim that Igor Tudor will have six games to turn things around at Juventus as pressure begins to mount on the Croatian after tasting his first defeat of the season away against Como over the weekend. 

Tudor has quickly become a man under pressure at Juventus given that he and the team have not won in any competition since the 4-3 Derby d’Italia victory over Inter on September 13. 

The Bianconeri only lost for the first time at the weekend, in a 2-0 defeat away against Como, but that followed a run of five consecutive draws, which has seen the team slip to seventh place in the Serie A table.

There have also been suggestions that the relationship between Tudor and Juventus general manager Damien Comolli, who is due to become the club’s next CEO, is not on the best terms.

According to reports from Tuttosport, there was a series of meetings involving Tudor, Comolli and the Juventus first-team squad on Monday.

The general manager had an opportunity to address the squad and request a greater ‘sense of responsibility’, before Tudor conducted his debrief with the squad following the 2-0 loss to Como. 

Then, there was a meeting between Comolli and Tudor. This is not unusual after a league fixture, but Tuttosport claims that the atmosphere was different on this occasion. 

Tuesday’s report claims that the upcoming Champions League test away against Real Madrid will not decide Tudor’s future at Juventus, but there are suggestions that he will be given until the next international break to turn things around in Turin. 

That means that Tudor effectively has six games to save his Juventus career: Those games will come against Real Madrid in the Champions League, Lazio, Udinese and Cremonese in Serie A, Sporting CP in the Champions League and then the Derby della Mole against Torino on November 8.
