Igor Tudor steps down as the head coach of Lazio, leaving his position at the Serie A club in under three months.

“I was convinced that I wasn’t going to play,” said Kylian Mbappe, reflecting on his final season at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). The French forward, who has been the subject of intense transfer speculation, opened up about his doubts regarding his playing time at the club.

In other news, there has been a managerial shake-up in Serie A as Igor Tudor has resigned from his position as Lazio head coach. The 46-year-old Croatian had only been in charge for less than three months before stepping down. Lazio released a statement expressing their gratitude for Tudor’s work and wishing him the best in his future endeavors.

Tudor took over from Maurizio Sarri, who had been at the helm of Lazio for three years before resigning due to a string of poor results. Under Tudor’s guidance, Lazio finished in seventh place in Serie A and secured a spot in next season’s UEFA Europa League. However, disagreements over transfer targets with the club’s president and sporting director led to Tudor’s departure.

Reports suggest that Hellas Verona boss Marco Baroni is one of the frontrunners to replace Tudor at Lazio. Baroni has had previous experience in Italian football and could bring a fresh perspective to the team.

Looking back at Tudor’s career, he achieved success as the manager of Marseille in the 2022-23 season. Despite finishing third in Ligue 1, his team secured a spot in the UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds. Before his time at Marseille, Tudor had stints at Galatasaray in the Turkish Super Lig, as well as Udinese and Verona in Serie A. His extensive experience in Italian football, both as a player and a manager, has shaped his approach to the game.

During his playing days, Tudor made over 100 appearances for Juventus and represented Croatia on the international stage. His knowledge and understanding of the sport have been honed over the years, making him a respected figure in the football world.

As Tudor moves on from Lazio, the club will be searching for a new leader to guide them to success in the upcoming season. The managerial merry-go-round continues, and fans eagerly await the announcement of Lazio’s new head coach.
