Inzagi leaves Pisa | Naples signs Empoli defender, Atlanta buys out the drug factory defender

On Friday, June 13, local time in Italy, Juventus Club officially announced on its official website that it would extend its contract with head coach Igor Tudor until June 2027 and have the option to renew the contract for another one year.

Juventus wrote in a statement: "Passion, charm, Juventus spirit, these words perfectly capture everything Igor Tudor has brought to Juventus since taking over the men's first team at the end of March and everything he will continue to represent in the coming years."

"It is now officially announced that Tudor has renewed his contract with Juventus. The Croatian coach will coach the men's first team until June 30, 2027 and has the right to extend it for another year until June 30, 2028. His next challenge will begin this summer, and the team will travel to the United States to compete for their first match at FIFA Club World Cup."

"Tudore's relationship with the club has become stronger, especially due to the work he did in the final stage of last season's Serie A, he helped the team secure a place in the Champions League next season. His tenure began with a home victory over Genoa at Allianz Stadium and a crucial victory over Venice in the final round of the league."

"Tudore reconnected with the club a few months ago. Now, a new chapter is waiting for us to write together. Congratulations, coach Tudore!"

After Thiago Mota was dismissed in March, Tudore was hired by Juventus, and he drove directly from Croatia to Turin that night. Tudor successfully helped the Zebras qualify for the Champions League, so his contract was automatically extended to June 2026.

Juventus' new general manager Komoli highly praised the former Croatian international at a press conference earlier this week, confirming that he will continue to coach throughout the 2025-26 season. A few days later, Tudor agreed to extend his contract with Juventus for another season.

After taking over Juventus, Dore led the team with 5 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. The only loss was that he lost 0-1 away to Parma, who fought for relegation.

After leading the team to Serie A this season, Pipo Inzag now officially chose to leave the Pisa Club. He will report that he will take over the Palermo Club.

After retiring, Inzagi has coached AC Milan, Venice, Bologna, Benevento, Brescia and Sarenitana. Last summer, he took over the Serie B team Pisa and led the team to successfully upgrade with the second place in the league.

Sassuolo returned to Serie A with the first place record this season, and Cremonese won the last place to advance through the play-offs. Inzaghi's record is 23 wins, 7 draws and 8 losses, but he has made a decision before that he will leave Pisa regardless of whether the team upgrades or not.

On June 13, local time in Italy, Pisa confirmed on its official website that the club has agreed to terminate the contract with Philip Inzaghi and will leave the position of first-team head coach from today.

According to reports from several Italian media, Inzagi will stay in the Serie B and coach Palermo. The Sicily club paid a 1 million euro termination fee and terminated his contract with Pisa.

Da Inzaghi will turn 52 in August. He also led Benevento to successfully upgrade from the Serie B in 2020. As for Pisa, they returned to the Serie A after 34 years, and the candidates to take over the coaching point next season include Girardino.

Coincidentally, another newly promoted Serie A team, Cremonese, is currently vacant in coaching position. The Naples Club officially announced on its official website that it would introduce 20-year-old Empoli defender Luca Mariennucci. The transfer fee is reportedly 9 million euros.

According to the tradition of the Naples club, Chairman De Laurentis first announced the news through his personal social media, "Welcome Luca!" Then the club also confirmed the transfer on its official website.

Mariannucci was born in Livorno, 1.86 meters tall, and only turned 21 next month. He plays as a central defender. He is a player trained by Empoli's own youth training and has been promoted to the first team. He made 24 appearances this season, including 18 games in the Serie A and 6 games in the Italian Cup, contributing two assists, but failed to prevent Empoli from dropping to Class B.

It is reported that Mariennucci's transfer fee is about 9 million euros, which will provide Naples coach Conte with a deeper bench thickness in the arrangement of troops. He is Napoli's second signing this season, after De Bruyne had joined Manchester City as a free agent.

Atlanta Club officially announced on its official website that it will directly buy out the Ivorian central defender Odilon Cosuno who joined on loan from Leverkusen this season. It is reported that the buyout fee is 20 million euros.

Cosuno joined Atlanta on loan from Leverkusen this season for 5.2 million euros, and the two clubs agreed to buyout fee of 25 million. Atlanta negotiated and eventually convinced the Bundesliga club to sell the 24-year-old Ivorian defender at a discount.

This is because Cosuno underwent a tendon tear surgery this season and was absent from mid-January to mid-April. The Ivorians finally made a total of 23 appearances for the "Goddess" and gave two assists in the Champions League.

Atlanta eventually negotiated to reduce the buyout fee of 25 million euros to 20 million, bought out Cosuno from Leverkusen, and signed him a new contract until June 2029.
