On a dramatic final day of the Serie A season, Igor Tudor achieved his mission with Juventus, guiding them to a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Venezia to secure fourth place and a spot in the Champions League.
The win, sealed in the last round, saw Juventus edge out Roma by just one point. Roma, meanwhile, claimed a 2-0 win at Torino, earning them a Europa League berth for next season.
Tudor, who took over from the sacked Thiago Motta in March, was tasked with ensuring Juventus qualified for Europe’s top competition. Despite the narrow success, his future remains uncertain.
His contract reportedly included an automatic extension upon reaching the Champions League, but rumors are swirling that Juventus may look to bring back Antonio Conte, fresh off leading Napoli to the Serie A title.
Elsewhere, Atalanta’s Daniel Maldini stole the spotlight in a 3-2 defeat to Parma. Maldini scored twice in a minute—first sliding in to meet a cross, then firing in a stunning long-range strike.
However, Parma’s substitute Jacob Ondrejka had the final say, scoring two late goals to ensure his team stayed in Serie A, avoiding relegation.
