Igor Tudor admits he didn't enjoy being Andrea Pirlo's assistant at Juventus.

The former Juve defender says he'll never work in such a role again.

“It was tough, but in the end we managed to qualify for the Champions League and we even won the Coppa Italia," Tudor told Sportske Novosti. “Yet they kicked us out.

“I'm sorry and I don't think it was right. But I decided one thing: I will never be anyone's assistant again.

“Pirlo called me to Juventus. That's how it went, there was a list with five names compiled by Juventus and [Fabio] Paratici left the decision to Pirlo.

“He chose me. But since he is very close to [Roberto] Baronio, he brought him too. And another one, an analyst, and he put us all on the same level.

“It wasn't fair, because after all I'm a coach. But I accepted it because it was Juve."

On his job prospects, Tudor added: “Sassuolo is a nice place, but it's a closed club. I would like Verona, an organised club and Ivan Juric did a great job."
