Since his induction into OM this summer, Igor Tudor has proven that he is very authoritarian, sometimes a little too much for some players.
In the space of only a few weeks, Igor Tudor hung with Gerson, Cengiz Ünder or even Jordan Amavi. The method of the Croatian technician is radically different from that of Jorge Sampaoli. If it can happen to Igor Tudor to be close to his players outside of training, the coach of Marseille Olympics is however intransigent on the green rectangle. And if the players are not listening or are not in good enough shape, Igor Tudor does not hesitate to dismiss them, regardless of whether their name is Dimitri Payet or Duje Caleta-Car for example. This somewhat military method can work according to Thierry Henry, who spoke about it on Prime Video. For the former striker of the French team, a small doubt remains on the other hand with regard to the players with strong character, which is legion within the Olympian workforce.

“It’s a method that is not always obvious with the new generation. But it’s true that Marseille came across a coach, whom I met at Juventus Turin, who always tells you what he has to say. If you’re not ready to accept it, the bench is waiting for you, the grandstand, the parking lot, the airport, whatever. It’s a method that worked at Hellas Verona, there was perhaps not the same caliber of player compared to OM, without disrespecting Verona. But he has good ideas, clear ideas. launched Thierry Henry, who crossed paths with Igor Tudor when the two men were players at Juventus Turin. Among the supporters, the victory against Reims had swept away doubts but the draw against Brest again put the Croatian under pressure. A victory against Nantes, Saturday evening at the Vélodrome, will be necessary for Igor Tudor in order to continue to have control over his group despite his muscular management.
