Juventus continue their search for a new manager to replace Igor Tudor, and the latest name to emerge on their shortlist is Stefano Pioli.
The experienced Italian coach is currently employed by Al Nassr, where he oversees a squad that includes high-profile players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane. Although he has only spent a short time in the Saudi Pro League, speculation suggests that his position may soon become uncertain, opening the door for a potential return to Serie A.
Pioli Considered as Juventus Step Up Managerial Hunt
Pioli’s previous tenure at AC Milan is one of the reasons he is being considered for the role. During his time there, he guided the club to stability and led them to a Serie A title. His contribution was widely regarded as key to Milan becoming competitive again before his departure at the conclusion of the 2023–2024 season.
Now, Juventus see him as a manager capable of delivering similar results in Turin. The club are intent on appointing someone with experience and a strong tactical record, particularly after recent inconsistencies in leadership. The vacancy soon to be left by Tudor has prompted the board to act swiftly to identify a candidate who can restore the club’s domestic dominance and make them more competitive in European competitions.
Competition from Atalanta in Pursuit of Pioli
According to Tuttojuve, Juventus are not alone in its pursuit. Atalanta, who have recently parted ways with Gian Piero Gasperini, are also interested in appointing Pioli. The Bergamo-based club are keen to bring in a reputable figure to continue their progress following Gasperini’s successful spell.
While Juventus are expected to push hard to secure Pioli’s services, any appointment will depend on his situation at Al Nassr. Until his future in Saudi Arabia is resolved, a return to Italian football cannot be confirmed. Nevertheless, Juventus remain hopeful that Pioli’s experience and past achievements can help them reclaim their place at the top of Italian football.

Add a CommentUnfortunately, I’m slowly becoming ashamed of being a Juventus fan. It’ll be 30 years in about a year. Great anniversary.
Then do it. If you feel ashamed then go join shInter. They like traitors and welcome them
All this non-sense talk about a new coach since the Conte fiasco. We have a coach and his name is Igor Tudor and he gives more guarantees than all of these names being linked with his job. If I was Tudor I would resign now. What a undignified way to behave against somebody who just secured fourth spot ammid difficult circumstances with a squad in mental shambles. I am disgusted.
I agree. Tudor deserves to be the head coach next season. We did it once trusting in Conte. Tudor is not new to Serie A. He managed to save Verona and Lazio. He has a very good record. I’d give him a chance. Pros: he wont demand a high salary, he has a Juve history, he has proven that he can guide us in crisis situations. I don’t think Pioli or Silva from Fulham are any better.
I think Tudor is average but the names we are hearing at the moment are total collapse of management. I am supporting Juve almost 30 years and have never seen situation so bad.
I really love to Tudor next season in our bench
