Tudor excited to get started as Juve hosts Parma
Igor Tudor, recognised for his demanding and aggressive style, takes charge of Juventus with the aim of restoring order and focus as it pushes for a long-awaited return to the top of Italian football.
Monday's (AEST) home game against Parma is set to offer an early indication as to whether his football philosophy can withstand the firepower of Serie A’s leading contenders, with defending champion Napoli already out of the blocks with a win from its opening match against Sassuolo.
With uncertainty continuing to hang over the futures of Dusan Vlahovic and Douglas Luiz, Tudor will be looking to Jonathan David as a potential spearhead in attack, supported by the youthful energy of Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceicao.
"My emotions are great right now because I like it when there is something at stake," Tudor said ahead of the game at Allianz Stadium.
"I don't like the preparation phase before a season, I don't like friendly matches. I can't wait to start tomorrow [Monday AEST]. We've worked well and the team is motivated. We want to get off to a good start.
"It's an important match, and we need to start well in front of our fans."
