The Turin side only managed to replace the underperforming Thiago Motta with Tudor midway through last season. At that time, Igor completed the minimum task by finishing at least fourth. But then more problems followed, and after a ten-game winless streak, the Croatian coach was also dismissed.
However, even under Spalletti, after a 2-1 win over Cremonese, there were only draws with Sporting and Torino. After the break, it was another 1-1 draw with Fiorentina, but they managed to win against Cagliari. In the Champions League against Bodo/Glimt before that, they also earned an important three points.
The club from Friuli showed a decent result for themselves in the 2024/2025 season, finishing with 44 points in twelfth place. And now they are holding on firmly among the solid mid-table teams. After losing to Bologna, they confidently defeated Parma 2-0.
The current hosts are making their cup debut only now, while the visitors have already played two successful matches in this tournament: in August, they beat Carrarese 2-0, and a month later took care of Palermo.
