Not really expected, the news of the departure of Jorge Sampaoli from his position as OM coach has redistributed the cards within the club. In the process, Longoria seemed very confident about the rapid arrival – by Monday or Tuesday, or even earlier – of the Argentinian’s successor. According RMC Sportan agreement has already been reached with Croatian coach Igor Tudor, who is expected to start training this Monday.
Former international defender, Tudor (44) is coming off a successful season in Serie A with Hellas Verona, undoubtedly the most successful since the start of his coaching career. By beating in particular Juventus, Roma or Lazio, his team finished 9th in the Italian championship, with the fifth best attack.
Adept at very aggressive pressing and a three-man defense, he also coached Hajduk Split in his country, Galatasaray in Turkey and Udinese in Italy. He has never coached in the Champions League.
