'''Igor Tudor''' (born 16 April 1978) is a Croatian professional [[Association football|football]] [[Manager (association football)|manager]] and former [[Football player|player]] who currently manages [[Serie A]] club [[Juventus FC|Juventus]].

Capable of playing either as a [[Defender (association football)|defender]] or [[defensive midfielder]], Tudor spent most of his playing career at [[Juventus FC|Juventus]], winning several trophies during that time. He was a part of the [[Croatia national football team|Croatia national team]] at [[UEFA Euro 2004]], the [[2006 FIFA World Cup|2006]] and [[1998 FIFA World Cup|1998 World Cup]], but missed the [[2002 FIFA World Cup|2002 World Cup]] due to injury.<ref name="Addio Mondiali per Tudor"/> Tudor announced his retirement on 22 July 2008 at age 30, after problems with his right ankle reappeared. He spent his final season playing for his youth club, [[HNK Hajduk Split|Hajduk Split]].

As manager, Tudor took charge of Hajduk from 2013 to 2015, and spent eight months with [[PAOK FC|PAOK]] in the [[2015–16 PAOK FC season|2015–16 season]]. In Turkey, he managed [[Kardemir Karabükspor|Karabükspor]] from 2016 to 2017, and [[Galatasaray S.K. (football)|Galatasaray]] in 2017. From April to June 2018, Tudor managed Serie A side [[Udinese Calcio|Udinese]] and in that time, saved the club from relegation to [[Serie B]]. In March 2019, he came back to Udinese. After he returned to Hajduk in January 2020, [[Andrea Pirlo]] invited Tudor to join his coaching staff at Juventus in August 2020, which offer Tudor accepted. He became manager of Marseille in 2022 before leaving the club after one season in 2023. In March 2024, he returned to Serie A and was appointed as manager of Lazio before resigning at the end of the season. In March 2025, he returned to Juventus in the position of manager.

==Club career==
===Early years===
Tudor started his professional career at [[HNK Hajduk Split|Hajduk Split]] in 1995 scoring five goals in 58 matches, being considered a revelation for his technique and ball control above the average of a defender.

===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 [[2000–01 Serie A|2000–01]] 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 [[2001–02 Serie A|Serie A title campaign]]. The following season, he also scored a notable goal against [[Deportivo de La Coruña]] in the last minute of a second round match of the [[2002–03 UEFA Champions League|2002–03 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' [[2004–05 Serie A|2004–05]] and [[2005–06 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 [[2006–07 Serie B|Serie B]] title and a [[2000 UEFA Intertoto Cup|UEFA Intertoto Cup]], also reaching the final of the [[2001–02 Coppa Italia]] and 2002–03 Champions League.

===Return to Hajduk===
Constantly struggling with injuries and mysterious bacterial infection of his ankle, Tudor was almost forced to end his career in 2007, but in June 2007 he decided to join his former club Hajduk Split after not renewing his contract with Juventus. After a highly cautious rehabilitation process his comeback was in the match against [[NK Zadar|Zadar]] on 20 October 2007. This was his first official match in over 16 months. However, he was unable to reach his previous form and his ankle injury problems continued. On 22 July 2008, at the age of 30, he announced his early retirement due to his recurring ankle injury problems.

==International career==
Tudor played for the [[Croatia national football team|Croatia national team]] between 1997 and 2006. He also won several international caps for the Croatian under-17, under-19 and [[Croatia national under-21 football team|under-21]] national teams between 1993 and 2000.

Tudor made his debut in Croatia's final match of the [[1998 FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA)|1998 FIFA World Cup qualifying]], a 1–1 draw at [[Ukraine national football team|Ukraine]] on 15 November 1997, coming on as a substitute for [[Aljoša Asanović]] in the 89th minute.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://eu-football.info/_player.php?id=21417|title=Player Database|accessdate=7 January 2023|website=EU-football}}</ref> He was subsequently part of the Croatian squad that finished third at the [[1998 FIFA World Cup]] in France. At the tournament, he made three appearances as a substitute in the closing stages of Croatia's games against [[Japan national football team|Japan]], [[Romania national football team|Romania]] and the [[Netherlands national football team|Netherlands]].

After the 1998 World Cup, he made four appearances in the Croatian national team's unsuccessful qualifying campaign for [[UEFA Euro 2000]], being in the starting line-up on all four occasions. He also appeared in six matches during Croatia's qualifying campaign for the [[2002 FIFA World Cup|2002 World Cup]], but missed the final tournament in South Korea and Japan due to an injury.

He returned to the national team during the qualifying stages for [[UEFA Euro 2004|Euro 2004]], appearing in seven qualifying matches. At the finals in Portugal, he appeared in two of Croatia's three group matches. In his first appearance at the tournament, a 2–2 draw against [[France national football team|France]], he scored an [[own goal]] to put the French side 1–0 up midway through the first half. His second appearance at the tournament came in Croatia's final group match against [[England national football team|England]], where he scored Croatia's second goal to keep their hopes alive after they found themselves 3–1 down in the second half. [[Frank Lampard]], however, soon netted England's fourth goal and Croatia were knocked out of the tournament in the group stage.

Tudor was also included in Croatia's 23-man squad for the [[2006 FIFA World Cup|2006 World Cup]] finals in Germany, having appeared in eight qualifying matches for the tournament, scoring two goals. He recorded his first goal of the qualifying when he scored Croatia's final goal in their 3–0 win at home to [[Malta national football team|Malta]] on 30 March 2005. His second goal of the competition came in Croatia's 3–1 win at [[Bulgaria national football team|Bulgaria]] on 4 June 2005, when he put Croatia 2–0 up just over half an hour from time. At the 2006 World Cup finals, he started all of Croatia's three group matches and played the full 90 minutes in two of them. Croatia, however, were eliminated from the tournament after a 2–2 draw against [[Australia men's national soccer team|Australia]] in their final group match, with Tudor receiving his second yellow card of the tournament for complaining about the penalty kick from which Australia scored a 1–1 equaliser. He made no further appearances for the national team following the tournament.

He earned a total of 55 caps, scoring 3 goals.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/miscellaneous/kroa-recintlp.html|title=Appearances for Croatia National Team|accessdate=7 January 2023|website=RSSSF}}</ref>

==Style of play==
Tudor was considered one of Croatia's best defenders in the period between the late 1990s and mid-2000s. Tudor was a large, hard-working, strong and imposing [[Defender (association football)|defender]] who excelled in the air, making him a dangerous goal threat during set pieces.<ref name="Gli eroi in bianconero: Igor Tudor">{{cite web|title=Gli eroi in bianconero: Igor Tudor|url=http://www.tuttojuve.com/gli-eroi-bianconeri/gli-eroi-in-bianconero-igor-tudor-46868|access-date=12 September 2014}}</ref>

He was also a tight man-marker and a hard tackling defender, with great tactical intelligence.<ref name="Gli eroi in bianconero: Igor Tudor"/> Although primarily a [[central defender]], he was capable of playing anywhere along the back line and even as a [[defensive midfielder]], which was made possible due to his tactical versatility, stamina, and his surprisingly capable technical skills, ball control and distribution for such a large and physical player.<ref name="Gli eroi in bianconero: Igor Tudor"/>

Despite his talent, he was also prone to injuries, which is often thought to have affected his playing career.<ref name="Addio Mondiali per Tudor">{{cite web|title=Addio Mondiali per Tudor Oggi verrà operato alla caviglia|url=http://archiviostorico.corriere.it/2002/maggio/08/Addio_Mondiali_per_Tudor_Oggi_co_0_0205085271.shtml|access-date=12 September 2014}}</ref>

==Managerial career==
===Hajduk Split===
Tudor was hired by [[HNK Hajduk Split|Hajduk Split]] in August 2009 to be the assistant manager to [[Edoardo Reja]] who then took charge of the Croatian giant. Tudor dramatically increased his managerial knowledge during the seven months he spent watching and learning from Reja. In February 2010, Reja took charge of [[S.S. Lazio|Lazio]] and because of that Tudor was fired from Hajduk; he did not join Reja in Italy.

In December 2012, Tudor was appointed by Hajduk's sporting director [[Sergije Krešić]] as the new Hajduk U-17 manager. After taking charge of the U-17 squad, he went to spend some time at the [[Juventus Training Center (Vinovo)|Juventus Center]] in order to improve his managerial skills with [[Antonio Conte]]. During his time with the U-17 squad, he managed to teach them how to play modern style football using the 3–5–2 formation. They managed to qualify for the U-17 Croatian Cup 2013 final.

In April 2013, he was hired as the new Hajduk Split manager. He lost his first away match against [[RNK Split]], but in the [[2012–13 Croatian Cup]] final first leg he defeated [[NK Lokomotiva|Lokomotiva]] 2–1 on Poljud. He achieved his first league victory against [[NK Osijek|Osijek]] on 17 May 2013. He won the [[2012–13 Croatian Cup]] after a 5–4 aggregate win against Lokomotiva in the final.

On 4 February 2015, Tudor resigned from Hajduk Split after managing the club for more than year and nine months.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.croatiaweek.com/unhappy-igor-tudor-resigns-as-hajduk-split-coach|title=Unhappy Igor Tudor Resigns as Hajduk Split Coach|publisher=Croatia Week|date=5 February 2015}}</ref>
