Former Verona president Maurizio Setti:
“I will always have a special memory of Tudor. Let’s start with this: he is a very serene man. He lives life better than many other coaches I’ve had. At the end of the season, when we met and I explained that I would have to sell the key players, he already had his contract automatically renewed after securing survival. I said to 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 won’t forget that. A month later Marseille called him, and I wrote to him: ‘God sees and provides, life is now taking you to the Champions League.’ Tudor is a man of depth, a rare person to find in the world of football.”
