Tudor's Journey as a Manager
After hanging up his boots, Igor Tudor embarked on his managerial path in Croatia, starting as Edy Reja's assistant at Hajduk Split. His foray into coaching took off as he led the Under-17 team at the same club. Following a brief stint alongside Croatia's coach Stimac, he returned to Hajduk, where he clinched the Croatian Cup as head coach.
Tudor's career then saw him venture abroad, with a spell at PAOK Salonika in Greece in 2016, and thereafter to Turkey, where he managed Karabükspor until early 2017 and later Galatasaray until December that year. In 2018, he made his return to Italy, taking the helm at Udinese, steering them clear of relegation, yet his tenure wasn't extended.
He soon found himself back at Udinese, stepping in for Nicola, and once more secured survival, but was dismissed in November. The 2019-2020 season marked another return to Hajduk Split, followed by a role as Andrea Pirlo's assistant at Juventus, where he celebrated victories in the Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana. However, the board opted for a complete overhaul of the coaching staff at season's end.
In 2021, he joined Hellas Verona, succeeding Di Francesco and guiding them to safety with a commendable campaign. Despite this success, he parted ways with the club due to differences with the management before making his way to Olympique de Marseille, where he finished fourth in Ligue 1 in his lone season.
Most recently, Tudor was appointed as Lazio's manager on March 18, 2024, taking over from Sarri. He ended the season in seventh place but resigned due to market disagreements.
