What Juventus’ FFP issues could mean for Igor Tudor’s future
Juventus find themselves in a precarious position. As much as the immediate question surrounds Igor Tudor ’ s job security, the true cost of any decision may extend far beyond the dressing room—and into the club’s fragile financial ecosystem.
According to Calciomercato , the prospect of Tudor’s dismissal is being weighed not just in sporting terms but under the lens of UEFA’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) scrutiny.
The article highlights that terminating Tudor would come with a heavy burden: his contract extension until 2027, combined with the residual obligations linked to former coach Thiago Motta, means that Juventus could face roughly €20 million in committed costs for two coaches not actively working .
What makes this even more significant is that UEFA’s ARE actively monitoring Juventus’ books. The inclusion of termination payments, redundant staff contracts and mounting amortisation charges places extra weight on a club already under financial strain. Calciomercato stress that every euro spent on a make-or-break coaching change now risks triggering FFP alarms.
In other words, the decision whether to sack Tudor isn’t just a question of form or identity—it’s an accounting one. If Juventus opts for a change, they must consider the direct hit to their budget and how it might aggravate pending FFP investigations. The club’s management now navigate a narrow path: either give Tudor time to turn things around, or risk financial consequences that could compound their sporting woes.
