Juve, after two matches the first case with Tudor has already broken out: management intervenes, what’s happening
Juve, scoppia il primo caso con Tudor: interviene la dirigenza (Lapresse) – SerieAnews
Juventus is coming off a 1-1 draw against Roma, a result that does not complicate too much the Bianconeri’s race toward Champions League qualification. However, there has been no shortage of controversy and signs of possible internal team disruption.
Coach Igor Tudor, who took over for Thiago Motta, earned four points in his first two games on the Juventus bench, but a formation choice against the Giallorossi created a rift with one of his players.
La situazione di Conceição: solo 24 minuti in campo
The evening against Roma was certainly not one of the brightest for the young Portuguese. Not only was he not deployed among the starters, but Tudor preferred not to let him even enter the game in progress, despite the fact that Juventus was in search of victory.
This choice has turned the spotlight on the future of Conceição, who has seen his minutes drastically reduced with the arrival of the new coach. In fact, in the two games under Tudor, the number 7 played only 24 minutes, entering in the final against Genoa. His last appearance as a starter now dates back to late February, in the away match against Cagliari. A situation that surprised many, especially given the good impact the player had in his first months in Turin.
Il messaggio criptico su Instagram: diretto a Tudor?
In the middle of the night after Roma-Juve, Conceição chose to post a story on Instagram that got a lot of talk. With a back-to-back photo of him pointing to his jersey number, the Portuguese wrote an enigmatic sentence, “One day they will know.”

Although it is not certain that this message refers directly to his exclusion from the match against Roma, it is clear that the young outfielder is going through a moment of frustration. It could also be a simple motivational thought, but to many the gesture appeared as a sign of discomfort, a way of indirectly communicating his dissatisfaction with the role he is playing in the team.
Juve, il futuro di Conceição: tra incertezze e valutazioni
Francisco Conceição’s future at Juventus is a hot topic that is bound to develop in the coming weeks. The Portuguese, who is currently on a dry loan from the Lusitanians of Porto, with no right of redemption, could be one of the players at the center of major evaluations.
In December, sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli had spoken out, saying that relations with the player’s entourage were excellent and that Juventus would like to keep him long-term, with the boy appearing to be happy with his experience in Turin. However, the situation now seems more complex.

Not only Tudor’s tactical choices, but also the economic and sporting environment will influence Conceição’s fate. The club will have to make deeper assessments, which will inevitably come through Champions League qualification.
If Juve fails to hit the target, it will become difficult to justify spending 30 million euros to exercise the player’s buy-back clause, adding to the 7 million already spent on the loan. And, of course, it is not certain that Conceição himself still sees a future in Turin, especially if his minutes remain limited.
The Juventus management is in a phase of reflection, ready to make the most appropriate decisions based on developments in the coming weeks. Conceição’s future, therefore, remains uncertain, but it will be determined not only by technical factors, but also by Juventus’ economic and sporting ambitions.
It remains to be seen whether the player will be able to convince the Croatian coach to give him more space and whether the team will achieve the seasonal goals that could pave the way for a long-term stay in Turin.
