Former Hellas Verona owner Maurizio Setti is delighted seeing Igor Tudor earning plaudits as Juventus coach.
Setti had Tudor at Verona as a player.
He recalled of the former Croatia defender: "I will always have a special memory of Tudor. Let's start with one thing: he's a very calm man. He lives life better than other coaches I've had.
"At the end of the year, when we met and I explained to him that I'd have to sell the big players, his contract had already been automatically renewed after we stayed up. I told him, 'I advise you not to stay here, because I don't know how many players I'll be forced to sell.'
"He looked at me, hugged me, and tore up the contract, giving up the money. I'll never forget it. A month later, Marseille called him, and I wrote to him: 'God sees and provides, life is taking you to the Champions League.'
"Tudor is a man of substance, a rare person to find in the world of football."
