Former Juventus defender Mark Iuliano is delighted for Igor Tudor after he landed the Lazio job.

Iuliano played with Tudor at Juve.

He told La Stampa: "He is an excellent coach and a great person: he is prepared, he is charismatic and he is meticulous. He has ideas, work culture and also a great physique, so the players respect him. I'm sure he will do great things at Lazio and Lotito is not stupid...

"What if I see something from Tudor the player again? The same desire and the same path. Igor is a wonderful boy: he came from nothing and made many sacrifices, becoming a point of reference in Juventus.

"He knew how to do everything and for me he was one of the strongest midfielders in Europe: only injuries stopped him."
