Igor Tudor insists a decision must be made on his Juventus future before the Club World Cup, having led the Bianconeri to a top-four finish in Serie A on Sunday.
Manuel Locatelli's penalty proved decisive as Juve sealed Champions League qualification with a 3-2 final-day win over Venezia, edging out fifth-placed Roma by a single point.
Tudor was appointed as Thiago Motta's replacement in March, after a 3-0 loss to Fiorentina left the Bianconeri outside the Champions League qualification places.
He joined on an initial contract to run until the end of this season, with an automatic extension clause kicking in if they secured a spot in Europe's premier club competition.
Despite that clause being activated, reports have suggested Juve could replace Tudor before the start of 2025-26, with Napoli's title-winning boss Antonio Conte a potential target.
Director Cristiano Giuntoli has said Juve will not decide on Tudor's long-term future until after the Club World Cup, but Tudor is not happy with that arrangement.
"It will be known soon, not after the Club World Cup, but before," Tudor told Sky Sports Italia. "We will see each other soon and decide.
"We were all focused on this ending. I didn't want to talk about the future either. Now there is the Club World Cup, but this situation must be resolved first.
"I don't think it would be a good idea to go there without having made a decision on the future of the coach, or that a decision is made in one direction, and they still take the current coach to the World Cup.
"A choice will be made before the [Club] World Cup. I think this is the right thing.
"I am always happy. We have achieved something, but this life as a coach must be accepted. You are always on the brink; it all depends on the results."
Juventus will face Al Ain, Wydad AC and Manchester City in the group stage of the revamped competition, which runs from June 14 to July 13.
The Bianconeri finished 12 points adrift of champions Napoli this term, yet Tudor believes they are only a couple of experienced additions away from a title charge.
"Juventus can aim to win with two or three new pieces, people with experience," he said.
"It's known that, in order to win trophies, you need an average age of 26 or 27. I'm not inventing it. There is quality, and I think you can win with a good job and two or three signings."

Are you sure that you’re a real Juve fan ? Your kinda mentality is why Juventus is where they are now. Let me Lecture you again. See that team, that Conte built. Any other world class coach would have won the champions league with it . Allegri is not a good coach and he will never be . What happened to brainless Allegri 2.0 . He destroyed everything. Have you heard about Leppi before? Yes . He was the coach that won our last champions league back in 96 . And lost in 97/98 and 2003 finals. You see , low class coaches like Motta , Allegri and Tudor will never improve us because they’re not Juve standard. Why do you think 🤔 everyone wants conte ? Because he’s a proven winner anywhere he goes. He’s also a builder. And right now Juve needs both a winner and a builder . I bet you $ go with Tudor and you would be back here in few months. Telling me I m right.
You're right.
