Igor Tudor insists that a decision should be made on his Juventus Future before the club World Cup, after he led the Bianconeri to a top-four finish in the Serie A on Sunday.
The penalty of Manuel Locatelli turned out to be decisive when Juve Champions League qualification sealed with a 3-2 last day victory over Venezia, so Roma ended in fifth place with a single point.
Tudor was appointed as the replacement of Thiago Motta in March, after a loss of 3-0 against Fiorentina de Bianconeri left the qualifying places for Champions League.
He joined a first contract to walk until the end of this season, with an automatic extension clause that started when they have obtained a place in Europe Premier Club competition.
Despite that clause that was activated, reports suggested that Juve Tudor could replace before the beginning of 2025-26, with Napoli's title winning boss Antonio Conte a potential target.
Director Cristiano Giuntoli has said that Juve will not decide on the future of Tudor until after the World Cup Club, but Tudor is not happy with that scheme.
“It will soon become known, not after the club's World Cup, but before,” Tudor told Sky Sports Italia. “We will see and decide each other quickly.
“We were all focused on this end. I didn't want to talk about the future either. Now there is the club World Cup, but this situation must first be resolved.

“I don't think it would be a good idea to go there without making a decision about the future of the coach, or that a decision is made in one direction, and they still bring the current coach to the World Cup.
“A choice is made before the [Club] World Cup. I think this is the right one.
“I am always happy. We have achieved something, but this life as a coach must be accepted. You are always on the edge; it all depends on the results.”
Juventus will be confronted with Al Ain, Wydad AC and Manchester City in the group stage of the renewed competition, which runs from 14 June to 13 July.
The Bianconeri finished 12 points on drift of champions Napoli, but Tudor believes that they are only a few experienced additions from a title costs.
“Juventus can strive to win with two or three new pieces, people with experience,” he said.
“It is known that to win trophies, you need an average age of 26 or 27. I don't think it is. There is quality and I think you can win with a good job and two or three signing sessions.”
