The leadership of Udinese plans to retire head coach Igor Tudor, says Gianluca Di Marzio.

The 40-year-old Croatian headed "zebras" only in late April, when the team lost 11 games in a row and was in 15th place with a break from the relegation zone in four points.

Under his leadership, Udinese won two matches, once tied, and also suffered one defeat, taking the final 14th place in the standings.

Despite the fact that the team managed to keep a residence permit in Serie A and the contract with Tudor is designed for another year, the zebra management is going to part with the coach.

It is reported that the former coach of the Italian national team Cesare Prandelli can replace him.
