Juventus Heads Club World Cup Group After 5-0 Win Under Coach Tudor

Juventus coach Igor Tudor expressed optimism after his team’s commanding 5-0 victory over Al Ain in their Club World Cup opener, highlighting the players' motivation and strong camaraderie. Since taking over in March amid a disappointing season, Tudor has helped Juventus finish fourth in Serie A, securing Champions League qualification for next year. Despite being one of the world's biggest clubs, Juventus last won the Serie A title in 2020 and has not claimed a major international trophy in over two decades. The revamped Club World Cup presents a valuable opportunity for Juventus to break this dry spell. Club management has shown strong support for Tudor's vision, extending his contract through 2028. Tudor acknowledged there is still room for improvement but emphasized that the team is moving in the right direction with a renewed desire to work hard for each other.
