Igor Tudor has officially left his job as coach of Hajduk Split in order to become Andrea Pirlo’s assistant manager at Juventus.

The approach had been reported over the last few days, but there were concerns the club wanted payment to release him from his contract.

A statement by Hajduk Split this afternoon confirmed Tudor “is no longer the coach after he decided to accept the offer to join Andrea Pirlo in Italy as his assistant manager.

“We wish Tudor the best of luck and success in his future career.”

Former Udinese boss Tudor spent just eight months with Hajduk Split, overseeing 18 games.

This is a return to Juve for the 42-year-old, who represented the club from 1999 to 2007 as a player.
