===Juventus=== After three personally successful seasons at Hajduk, he was noticed and acquired by Italian giants [[Juventus FC|Juventus]] in 1998. During his time with Juventus, he won the [[Croatian Player of the Year]] award in 2002.<ref>{{cite web |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091027162433/http://geocities.com/juventusfootball/news/archived02/010102.htm |url=http://geocities.com/juventusfootball/news/archived02/010102.htm |title=Award-Winning Tudor Takes Plaudits in His Stride |date=1 January 2002 |archive-date=27 October 2009 |publisher=Juventus Football}}</ref> During his eight-year spell with the club, Tudor was in excellent form, despite injuries, and formed impressive defensive partnerships with the likes of [[Paolo Montero]], [[Mark Iuliano]], [[Gianluca Pessotto]], [[Lilian Thuram]], [[Ciro Ferrara]], [[Alessandro Birindelli]], [[Nicola Legrottaglie]], [[Gianluca Zambrotta]], [[Jonathan Zebina]], [[Giorgio Chiellini]] and [[Fabio Cannavaro]]. During the [[2000β01 Serie A|2000β01]] season under [[Carlo Ancelotti]], Tudor had a prolific year, scoring six goals. The following season, with the return of his former Juventus coach [[Marcello Lippi]], he was occasionally deployed as a midfielder, scoring four crucial goals (one against [[Torino F.C.|Torino]] in the [[Derby della Mole|Turin derby]], two goals in Juventus' comebacks against [[A.C. ChievoVerona|Chievo]] and [[Hellas Verona F.C.|Hellas Verona]] and one during the match against title contenders [[Inter Milan|Internazionale]]) in Juventus's successful [[2001β02 Serie A|Serie A title campaign]]. The following season, he also scored a notable goal against [[Deportivo de La CoruΓ±a]] in the last minute of a second round match of the [[2002β03 UEFA Champions League|2002β03 Champions League]], allowing the club to progress to the quarter finals of the competition, en route to the [[2003 UEFA Champions League Final|final]], in which they were defeated by Italian rivals [[A.C. Milan|Milan]] on penalties. During this period, Juventus had one of the strongest teams in the world, and Tudor contributed well, with over 150 total appearances for the club, scoring nearly 20 goals, as a centreback. After a major injury in 2004, however, Tudor was loaned out to [[S.S. Robur Siena|Siena]] in January 2005 after seven seasons with Juve. Following the revocation of Juventus' [[2004β05 Serie A|2004β05]] and [[2005β06 Serie A]] titles due to their involvement in the ''[[Calciopoli]]'' scandal, as well as the expiration of his loan contract with Siena, Tudor returned to Juventus, staying with the club despite their relegation to [[Serie B]], but injuries kept him off the pitch for the whole season. His contract expired on 30 June 2007. During his time at the club, Tudor won two Serie A titles, two [[Italian Supercup]]s, a [[2006β07 Serie B|Serie B]] title and a [[2000 UEFA Intertoto Cup|UEFA Intertoto Cup]], also reaching the final of the [[2001β02 Coppa Italia]] and 2002β03 Champions League.
