Tudor tipped for Venezia rescue as Stroppa faces axe
Igor Tudor is the top candidate to replace Giovanni Stroppa at Venezia. The newly promoted side sits bottom of Serie A with zero points after four games.
TL;DR Igor Tudor is reportedly the leading candidate to become Venezia's new head coach if Giovanni Stroppa is dismissed.
Key Points - Venezia are the only Serie A team without a point after four matches. - Tudor previously managed Juventus and Tottenham. - The former boss is considered the top choice for the vacancy.
What We Know According to Football Italia, Tudor is tipped to return to Serie A with Venezia. The newly-promoted club has struggled significantly, sitting at the bottom of the table with no points earned in the first four league games of the 2026-27 season. They also possess the joint-worst defensive record in the division.
Why It Matters Venezia's poor start puts immediate pressure on manager Stroppa. A change in management is a common tactic for clubs in crisis, and Tudor's experience at top-level clubs like Juventus and Tottenham makes him a viable candidate for a turnaround.
