Juventus secured Champions League football for next season on the last day of the Serie A season on Sunday, but manager Igor Tudor is still not sure in the club and says he wants his future to be decided for the club World Cup.
Tudor replaced the dismissed Thiago -Motta in March and signed a contract until the end of this season. The club has the option to extend the deal for another year if Juventus qualified for the Champions League, which will be an obligation after 30 July.
A 3-2 victory in Venezia means that Juventus finished the season fourth in the rankings, and with the club that participated in the club World Cup that starts on June 14 in the United States, Tudor was asked if he would still be at the helm.
“Now there is the World Cup, but everything will be solved before that time,” Tudor told Sky Sports.
“I don't think it would be a good idea to go there without a decision, or to make a decision (on a new manager), but then take the same coach there, it would not be serious for me or for the club.
“A choice will be made before the World Cup about the future, I think it's good.”
Despite the uncertainty, Tudor is satisfied with the work he has done at the club since he took the lead.
“I am happy, it is wonderful because we have achieved something, but you have to accept this life as a coach. You are always on the edge,” Tudor said.
“If we hadn't won today, nothing would have changed for me, I would have felt like the same coach. Of course, if you win, you're a little happier.”
Tudor may not be the man who is in charge by the time that comes next season, but he gave his opinion about what the club should do to challenge the title of the competition.
“First of all you have to be complete, in every game I played there, at least two starters are missing,” he said.
“Juventus needs two or three targeted signing sessions, people who can offer experience. To win trophies, you need an average age of 26 or 27. I am not inventing it.
“We are a bit green, but there is quality and I think you can win with a good job and two or three signing sessions.”
