Another dismal night for Juventus saw Igor Tudor’s side fall 1–0 to Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico, with Basic’s goal deepening an already worrying crisis for the Bianconeri. The Croatian coach’s future is now increasingly under scrutiny, as his team’s prolonged winless run continues to raise doubts within the club and among pundits alike.
In the aftermath of the defeat, the conversation quickly turned to Tudor’s uncertain position. During the post-match coverage on Fuoriclasse on DAZN (as quoted by Calciomercato), former Juventus players analysed the team’s alarming trajectory and expressed concern over the current situation.
Ferrara: “Coaches Always Under Discussion”
Ciro Ferrara, ex-Juventus defender and former interim coach, opened the discussion with a tone of empathy but realism. “Like all coaches, he’s under pressure. I feel sorry because I know Igor, but unfortunately the results simply aren’t rewarding his work. Coaches are always being questioned, even more so when the results don’t come. I hope he is given time, but this is the nature of the job.”
Vieri: “There Will Come a Time to Decide”
Christian Vieri echoed Ferrara’s view but hinted that patience might soon run thin. “As Ciro said, coaches are always at risk. It’s risky to consider changes after just eight games, but if things keep going like this, there will come a time when a decision must be made.”
Matri: “I’m Worried About the Team’s Attitude”
Former striker Alessandro Matri highlighted a deeper problem beyond tactics or results — the team’s mentality. “What worries me most is Juventus’s attitude,” he remarked. “There was only a slight reaction in the second half. It means they’re not sensing the danger. Eight games without a win — it’s going to weigh on them heavily.”
