Back in June, the football world was rocked by the shocking news that one of France‘s most prestigious clubs, Olympique Lyonnais, had been provisionally relegated to Ligue 2.
This ruling had been made by the DNCG as a result of extreme financial mismanagement, which had led to debts exceeding €500m.
Fortunately, however, the situation was resolved thanks to the departure of former president John Textor, the sales of star players Rayan Cherki and Georges Mikautadze, and qualification for the UEFA Europa League.
With three wins from three to start the new Ligue 1 season, the dark cloud over Les Gones appears to have faded for now.
Lyon were forced to be cost-effective this summer, spending just 34% of the €106m they recouped in sales, though the €10m addition of Tyler Morton is looking like more of a masterstroke with every passing week.
The Liverpool academy graduate has caught the eye in each of his three starts thus far, even being named Player of the Match in the 3-0 home win over Metz.
Morton looks better than ever in his new colours.
This Tyler Morton scout report and player analysis sets out to provide a sharp, insightful look into his style of play.
We’ll explore the type of midfielder Morton is and how Paulo Fonseca has deployed him, as well as assess the standout qualities and limitations that define his game.
After a turbulent campaign in 2024/2025, Juventus turned to Igor Tudor style of play in the closing stretch of the season, hoping for a course correction after Thiago Motta tactics had run out of steam.
The results were immediate: under Tudor, Juventus rediscovered their edge, losing just once in their final nine matches.
That late surge secured a top-four finish and a much-needed return to the UEFA Champions League.
Yet, the real challenge lies ahead, sustaining this momentum across a full season.
Tudor is not a stranger to high-pressure environments. In recent years, he has led Hellas Verona during the 2021/2022 season, guided Olympique de Marseille to competitive heights in 2022/2023, and taken charge of Lazio.
He even has history within the Juventus set-up, having worked as Andrea Pirlo’s assistant.
His career trajectory reflects a coach unafraid to make bold tactical shifts, often revitalising sides in need of fresh energy.
In Turin, those shifts are already visible.
Motta’s possession-heavy, rigid structures were yielding diminishing returns, with the attack becoming predictable and sterile.
Tudor injected greater dynamism through structural tweaks, sharpening transitions and bringing balance between defence and attack.
While this rejuvenation has yielded positive outcomes, cracks remain, as seen in Juventus’ heavy defeat to Manchester City at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, which highlighted lingering vulnerabilities when tested against Europe’s elite.
This data analysis report uses tactical frameworks and data-driven analysis to evaluate Juventus’ future under Tudor in 2025/2026.
By drawing parallels with his impactful but brief spell at the end of last season, alongside insights from his work at Verona and Marseille, we aim to assess whether Juventus are genuinely on the path back to Serie A’s summit, or if Tudor’s revival is still a work in progress.
