He spent nine years in Turin, winning two Serie A titles before returning to Hajduk. Tudor also won 55 Croatia caps, playing at the 1998 and 2006 World Cups and scoring against England at Euro 2004.Early managerial careerTudor's first managerial job came at Hajduk, winning the Croatian Cup in 2013. He lasted just nine months at Greek side Paok before being sacked due to "unsuccessful results and criticism of the team". After a year at Karabukspor, Tudor moved to Galatasaray but was sacked after 10 months, having struggled in Europe and fallen out with star player Wesley Sneijder.Return to ItalyTudor was named head coach of Udinese in April 2018 and saved the club from relegation. He left in the summer, but returned to Friuli in March 2019. Tudor rejoined Hadjuk in January 2020 but after just eight months he was back in Italy, joining Juventus as Andrea Pirlo's assistant. The pair won the 2021 Coppa Italia but failed to regain the title and were dismissed. "I think it was unfair," Tudor said. "I've decided I will no longer work as an assistant for anybody else."Season in Verona and Marseille moveTudor was hired by Verona in September 2021 after they started the season with three league defeats. He improved things quickly, guiding them to a ninth-placed finish – but again leaving at the end of the season. Tudor's next job came at Marseille, where he replaced Jorge Sampaoli. The team finished third in Ligue 1 but flopped in the Champions League, losing twice to Tottenham. He announced his exit in June after "a great year", saying he was "tired" of managing Marseille.Lazio stint and return to JuventusTudor waited nine months for his next job, which came at Lazio after Maurizio Sarri resigned. After winning six of his 11 games in charge and sealing a Europa League spot, Tudor walked away after reported disputes with the club hierarchy over transfer targets. Having previously been linked with a return to Juventus, Tudor replaced Thiago Motta in March 2025, guiding the club to fourth place. He signed a contract extension until 2028, but was sacked in October after an eight-game winless run.

One of those too where you wonder if he'd come off sooner (he definitely felt something) then it wouldn't have been so severe.Eddie Howe spoke about this in his press conference yesterday. He said: “At that stage of the game the other night he was getting fatigued. Maybe with a full bench we would have taken him off before then but we didn’t because we had run out of midfielders so he stayed on the pitch - and unfortunately got injured.”Southampton host Leicester City this afternoon in the FA Cup. The two sides met in the Championship on Tuesday, and the Saints pulled off a stunning comeback to win the match 4-3 from 3-0 down.Goals from Divine Mukasa, Patson Daka and Abdul Fatawu put Leicester three goals up before half-time, with Ross Stewart getting one back for Southampton at the hour mark.
