Igor Tudor will face the World Championship not only as a coach of the Juve, but also with a contract extension until 2027 which gives the Croatian credibility and solidity in the eyes of all. The Bianconeri start again with him, with a newfound spirit Juve, a DNA closer to the motto 'until the end', with the hope of playing a leading role in the World Cup because you never go to Juventus just to participate.
