Tudor, a 48-year-old Croatian coach with a wealth of experience in Serie A, has been out of work for most of 2026 following a disappointing spell in charge of Tottenham. He previously managed Juventus, where he had a short stint as head coach. Tudor's CV also boasts spells at Lazio, Marseille, Hellas Verona, Hajduk Split, Udinese, Galatasaray, and several others.
Venezia are currently rooted to the bottom of the Serie A table with zero points after their first four league matches of the 2026-27 season. They have the joint-worst defensive record in the division, conceding 11 goals already. If they fail to pick up a point against in-form Lazio this weekend, there is a growing chance that Stroppa will be dismissed without a positive result.
